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.

Unhappy Valid IPs?

I haven't fired up Limewire in a while. Is there a default IP, maybe hosted by limewire, or some caching server, so I can get back on the network. After trying to connect to all the IPs it had in memory (from more than a year ago, I am sure) no one's responding.

Emrecio

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do but it seems you have completely misunderstood how your Limewire software works.

That said, I would suggest that you forget the nonsense you think you know about IP addresses and download a new copy of Limewire Basic and, of course, a new copy of Java V1.5 (aka Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 Update 12).

Get you new copy of LW from here: Lime Wire » Official Website & Free Download «

and get your new copy of Java from here: Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5

Good luck.



UK Bob

Angry Done that

I've done that. I've even installed it my linux boxes (FC5, FC6 x86_64). It's supposed to be a Peer-to-peer network... i have no peers to connect to is what I am trying to say. Don't assume I don't know what I am talking about, and be curt about it.

Everything that was in my old preferences file, seems to be dead links. And yes, I am not being blocked by any router NAT as my machine is in the DMZ. Locally on the boxes iptables is allowing inbound 6346. On the OS/X box, its being NAT'd but not firewalled on the way out.

Default tcpdump

Notably, tcpdump on the interface shows only one connection attempt:
22:33:23.229302 IP 10.174.4.235.6346 > 234.21.81.1.6347: UDP, length 31

... to a multicast addr ...

Cool CVS version of limewire

So the CVS version for the source, doesn't have a sufficient list of IPs. Getting official release of "basic" running downloads some IPs. Feed it through tcpdump, and export the remote IPs on Gnutella ports. Remove ~/.limewire dir, and fire up the compiled version (from CVS). Then just start feeding it some of the exported IPs. The compiled version should then start joining the network. This helps because then I can use my old "pro" version on the Mac instead of using a crippled "basic" modern version - I just feed it a couple of the IPs i've discovered from the tcpdump.
So I guess my question is, what's the difference between the source code version, and "pro"? Or even pro 4.8 and current pro?

If you really want to the following:

Then that question is best put to the programmers of LW.

However, if you want help in getting your LW Basic or Pro to work then you will have to supply the following info that will help us to figure out your problem.

1. What OS version (eg: Windows 98, XP,OSX, Vista) ?
2. What firewalls you have?
3. How much ram?
4. Hard Disk space available?
5. Connection type (eg: dialup, broadband, cable, etc.) ?
6. Modem what brand name & model numbers ?
7. Router brand name & model numbers ?
8. Where are you trying to connect from (house, apartment complex, school, student accommodation, work, etc.) ?
9. What version, LimeWire & Java, are you using. Go to L/W's Help/About L/W, THIS show both LW & Java version.?
10. Who is your ISP provider (Internet Service Provider) ?
11. Do this test click here: http://www3.limewire.com:6346/ should say 'Your test worked!. What happens ?
12. Are you sharing the connection with other computers or p2p sharing programs? If yes, please give details of set up.
13. Is this your 1st try at LW, or is this a new problem with an experienced user.?
14. Do you see a brick wall in front of the blue world icon at the bottom of LW's interface ?
15. Have you given full permissions for LimeWire to pass through your Firewall ?
16. XP users, Please state XP firewall on or off.?
17. In Start & remove Programs, Is this update Installed, "Security Update for Windows XP (KB931261)" ?
If Windows Updates are not seen, Tick the box at top of page, (show updates)
18. Are you using Manual Port forward in LimeWire OR UPnP ?

Sorry that my first reply seemed curt but your first post came across as a "confused newby", which obviously you are not.

Anyway, pending your reply, you said:
Quote:

I presume from this that you don't have any security software running on your machine and that it is probably a Unix based system and not Wintel one.

I have one question, have you tried port forwarding LW and your router? I ask this because most times a configuration adjustment is needed to both LW and router to get them to work together, i.e. send and receive internet communications.

Awaiting your reply.

PS. I cut and pasted the “1 - 18 questions” from elsewhere and realise that some of them may not apply to you.
