Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

I can only suggest these fixes although I think your problem is with the Nat Firewall...

Try uninstalling all versions of Java from the add/remove programs and then re-install the JRE 5.11 offline version....
Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11

Then try deleting your preference folder/s...

yes, Every problem I have with my internet sutff (connecting to LW, connecting to Azerus, playing Xbox Live, playing online comp games ) has to do with NAT. I have trying to figure out how to fix this for years, but everyone gives me the same resposne, which is that static Ip site, and the port forward.com site. None of those work of cousre, so hopefully your method will

Oops sorry...http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...der-vista.html

This is more than likely not going to help you with the Nat firewall...It can work with connction problems, but by the sounds of the trouble you have been having it's not the fix, but I could be wrong...

You might want to purchase a new modem/router, one that doesn't contain the Nat Firewall....

will do. I jsut it isn't like alst time.

When I first dl'd LW a few eeks ago, I had this problem, and I think I made this topic because of that, and thought the problem was solved, cause it connected. Then the next day it wouldn't coonnect, and had the problem since now. I hope it is fixed.


How the heck do you get aorund NAT's anywyas? Those things have been plaguing me since I got a wierless network, and to this day I have no idea how to get through NAT's. Hell I have never been able to connect to a single game made by EA since 2004 because of NAT!!!

The only thing I can think of is that you had already successfully created a static IP, you see you only ever have to do the static IP once, that's why you where more than likely having so many problems, so now all you need to do is port forward for each application the Nat Firewall blocks...

So maybe when you set up the port forwarding for limewire it worked but you still had the Java issue and your preference folder needed to be refreshed....
Why don't you try one of your games now and just try opening up the port and skip the Static IP part...
If you need a link let me know and I'll see if I can find it for you...

well when I used the link in this topic about setting up a staitc IP, that was the first time I have ever messed around with something like that. Once I followed the guide and did everyuhtng it said, I entered the IP it told me to, and my comp could no longer connect to the interent after that. I immediatly changed it back to "automatic" and I could connect to the internet once again.

As for my games, I ahve the xbox live port forwarded, and so I can download things a lot faster form the marketplace now, but I still have a very hard time connecting and playing any game online. most of the time I will see only 4-6 games avaiable, and this is on the most played game on xbox live, Gears of War, and I can do this any day, and any time of the day and still get around 5 room avaible, so I know its not just me loggin on at a bad time of day.

Then there is the EA problem, of not being able to connect to any EA server, or EA made game EVER.
