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. |

 Users Unable to Connect with LimeWire 1.6X Look Here For anyone who is unable to establish a connection to the network using LimeWire 1.5-1.6d on Windows, try using the installer available at: http://www9.limewire.com/download/LimeWire16d118.exe This is the same exact code as LimeWire 1.6d, but it uses the Java 1.1.8 version of Java. This is the same version of Java that we were using with LimeWire 1.4b and below, and those versions of LimeWire did not have this problem. This section of our code has changed very little, however, so we suspect that this problem arose as a result of the JVM change. This is applicable to users who are unable to establish any connection to the network at all with LimeWire 1.5 and above, including users who are receiving the message about not being able to find a port for incoming connections. This installer will likely work for you, and it would be a great help to us if you could report back any successes or failures. Thanks very much.

| Glad to hear that it worked for you. I was meaning to contact you directly about it, so I'm glad that you noticed the post. Again, the code for LimeWire that you just installed is exactly the same as the code for the standard 1.6d release, it is just using a slightly older version of Java. We should have this problem solved using the new version of Java for a release somewhat soon. |

| To All: So you are not connecting to the gnutella servers: _________________________ How did it not work? It still isn't connecting? Can you connect to any gnutella servers with any program? Did Napster work for you? Does AOL Instant Messenger work? Does MSN Messenger work? Answer these questions to the best that you can, and let me know. You can email me: Beckerist@hotmail.com and I can try to figure out from there... If no other gnutella clients work for you, then you are most likely behind a firewall. There are ways around this, but it would be easier for me to diagnose the problem if you could answer these questions.</p> Last edited by Beckerist; August 20th, 2001 at 05:55 AM. |

| No other gnutella server works for me, napster works, aol instant messenger and msn messenger work. I had installed limewire 1.6d,then tried the version posted above and no matter the version, I always get the failure to find a port for incoming connections. Also I do believe that I am firewalled. |

| If you cannot connect to AOLIM You are behind a firewall. Limewire, along with IRC, AOLIM, RealPlayer require a direct connection to the internet. Most firewalls prevent users from being directly connected to the internet, because they access it through a proxy server. Most proxy servers will not work for these applications. There are ways around it, you should check out this site for more details. Another good site is: http://www.gnutellanews.com/information/firewalls.shtml. Try these, tell me what you think. |
