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.

Static ip is required or else, if you have a dynamic ip, the next time your ip address changed the port setting wouldn't work. That's why a static ip is so important. Port forwarding is more reliable than UPnP.

Games & video conferencing have traditionally required many ports to be opened. LW only needs one port to be opened.
Well, thanks LOTR, that's what I call comprehensive
I've changed my LW setting (as well as my Firewall) to a port in the higher range quite recently with some instant improvement in download speed. However, I did not create a static IP. Would have this been necessary? I'm actually not sure whether I have a dynamic IP (but I almost suspect, since the reason for dynamic IP's most likely lies in some sort of cost efficiency, which is a big "YES'YES" here in Thailand).
Would you mind telling me whether you use UPnP or static ip and could recommend it to me? (Any additional information necessary for making such a recommondation can be instantaniously provided )

My model of router requires manual port forwarding so thus I am required to use a static ip. My router doesn't have UPnP abilities.

If you're simply changing port setting within LW to connect through then a static ip shouldn't be necessary.

Not unless you do manual port forwarding is a static ip necessary. And it must be done before you forward a port, else it wouldn't work & you'd need to repeat the procedure.

Well, I've got "Manual Port Forward" check in my LW configuration with the listen port 64049, not UPnP.
From what I understand, I should exit LW completely, create a static IP and then re-open LW, or did I miss the point??

You do that within LW "if" you have manually forwarded a port on your device. As suggested, to forward your device you need to set up a static ip 1st. I left a link for it on the previous page. There's also a link at the top of the link page about how to set up a static ip.

However if you can't do it, then you can always try experimenting around with the settings in LW.

Having read all your posts so far and tried every possible hint (okay, I'm exaggerating ), I've left the one with the static IP. But now I'm stuck with the following:
After reaching the login page of my ISP as described (except that the prompting box looks completely different then the one shown in the PortForwarding description; its a blank login dialog on a blank white webpage with this address: http://202.69.137.138/WebApp/Login/WebLogin.html), I typed in the username and password as provided by my ISP for my internet connection. After clicking on "login", nothing happens. The page loading indicator in the bottom right corner of my FF browser flickers for a second and that's it. I'm still at the login screen.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong??

Possibly incorrect pass. Check with your isp for the correct way of logging in or use the default as suggested on the Portforward site.
Your ISP login & router login will not necessarily be the same. There is probably a default login for it. I have mine bookmarked via my browser for auto-login so I can't remember much about it but I probably have a note about it somewhere both on the computer & hard-copy. If you've never set it for yourself, then there will be a default log in most likely.

Depending on the device, you can reset the login. You basically reset the device which kills any memory of settings within it.
