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. |

 Phantom Firewall??? Does limewire detect firewalls that aren't there??? I have windows firewall turned off on my computer and that is the only firewall installed on my computer... Windows security center reports I have no Firewalls on.. I have a linksys wrt54g wireless broadband router and I am sure I have the firewall disabled I go to firewall settings for router and uncheck the items listed, that is the only way I can see how to disable the firewall... If that is the wrong way could someone enlighten me???.. But limewire is still detecting a firewall with a brick wall in front of the globe... Bug Report Incoming session always shows false.. When limewire is telling me it has detected a firewall, is it telling me I actually have a firewall on???.... Because for the life of me I can't find one, I've tried everything for weeks now... If there is a brick wall there, shouldnt it prevent me from downloading at all or would it affect the speeds of my downloads and uploads???... I can download and upload and have no problems connecting... My ISP tells me there is no firewall in my ZYXEL DSL 660 Modem (3.0M/512kb) Sprint is my ISP...I have no software firewall from my isp installed on my computer... That only leaves my router and windows firewall... Sorry so long winded but I have been researching this for weeks now and am at my last gasps... Is there a way of finding out what firewall limewire is detecting... Thanx for your response... PopMal  |

| What firewalls and router do you have? If your using XP it has a firewall also. Advisable not to have two firewalls on at the same time. Have you seen this thread: Connection problems? Check here first!. Post back with more info on your setup and we'll try to help. OS(Win XP etc) LW & Java version (help > about LW & you'll see) Firewall you're using Modem/router brand & model ISP Connection type (DSL etc) Where you connect from (home, school etc) Are you sharing a connection with other computers Is this your first try with LW

| Hi HoLy.SHEET  ,Didn't mean to imply that you were a noob or didn't know what you were doing  . In trying to trouble shoot, you start with the most obvious things first and go from there.Are you still able to download and upload ok? Do this simple test for us. Using your browser go here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ The page should say 'Your test worked!'. What happens when you go there? If you haven't already, try setting your D-Link DI-624 router to UPnP. Here's a thread that suggests that your isp may be throttling P2P apps: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...light=Optusnet. If thats the case try changing the listening port for LW to one between 49152 - 65535. Go to LW's menu bar, Tools>Options>Advanced>Firewalls & see the option at the top for listening port. Press apply after making the change. Then go to menu bar, File >Disconnect, wait a minute, then Go back & select Connect. See if that helps. When all else fails, try deleting your limewire pref folder while limewire is closed. Points #2 & 3 in this thread: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?t=36420. Doing so will change all the LW settings back to the default. You may want to make a note of them first. I hope this helps a little. I'm leaning toward it being your isp, but I don't know.
