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.

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. |

 Vista Parental controls problem connecting This is on my daughter computer. I have 2 user accounts setup, mine is a administrator accounter hers is a standard user account. When I enable parental control on her account limewire will not connect, the bar in the bottum left only has one green line, and I get a message that limewire can't connect to the network. After disabling parental controls the connection to limewire still doesn't work.  The only solution was to delete her account and recreate the account and disable parenal controls. I would like to run the parental controls to control the time that my daughter spends on the computer and filter websites. Please help!  The computer has Norton 360, which is allowing all tcp/ip & UDP traffic both ways for limewire, and the computer is going through a linksys wireless N Gigbyte router with a firewall. Here is my configuration: OS Name Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Ultimate Version 6.0.6000 Build 6000 Other OS Description Not Available OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Name MADDIE-PC System Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard System Model HP Compaq dc5100 SFF(PU498US) System Type X86-based PC Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz, 3189 Mhz, 1 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s) BIOS Version/Date Hewlett-Packard 786C2 v01.06, 4/5/2005 SMBIOS Version 2.3 Windows Directory C:\Windows System Directory C:\Windows\system32 Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume1 Locale United States Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.6000.20500" Time Zone Mountain Daylight Time Total Physical Memory 1,014.89 MB Available Physical Memory 356.45 MB Total Virtual Memory 2.23 GB Available Virtual Memory 1.30 GB Page File Space 1.28 GB Page File C:\pagefile.sys  |

| Limewire is not a child's toy and should always be used with adult supervision, simply because of all the illegal material that can be accessed on other P2P user's PCs. Therefore, you should install LW under your (administrator) account and supervise your daughter from there. You know, lots of parents write into this forum complaining about the amount of pornographic material that seems to be readily available. What they don't realise, or seem to understand, is that LW allows you to access other P2P users PCs, not a dedicated controlled server, and no one can control what other adults (PC owners and users) from all over the world can or cannot share.

| I have searched all over for someone to actually post a fix to this problem and all I see are people saying that it's not for children and they should be monitored. Okay that's noted, but how do you get LimeWire to actually run for a user that is not an administrator. I can run LW just fine because I'm an admin, but my daughter is just a general users so I can have parental controls on her account. She can't get past one bar when trying to get it to connect. I don't care that you can access porn from LW. I care that I have to sign in for her everytime she wants to use it. Someone PLEASE HELP!!! |

| Hello, I was in the same boat as you in both my daughter's accounts were non administrator and was using Parental controls and could not log on. Here is what I did to fix the problem. First, I made sure my java was up to date. There are numerous threads on how to do this. Second, I believe it is a permissions issue in why it will not work....So what I did was to change the non-admin accounts to admin accounts and then installed Limewire. Third, I ran Limewire and changed all the preferences to your specific needs. Lastly, I changed the accounts back to non-admin accounts. I did this on both of my daughter's computers and they have been able to login and connect successfully using LW, Vista, Parental Controls and Non-Admin accounts from then on! Hope this helps! |
