UNREGISTERED members?
 

how come when i first started this forum , i was told that in order to participate in ANY of these forums, i would HAVE TO REGISTER? obviously that isn't the case because it seems the ONLY people out there using these forums are 89% UNREGISTERED!!! half of them have more to offer than some of the moderators/developers! GO FIGURE! what really burns me up is that NOBODY takes the time to explain or help anyone having real problems with limewire in these forums. the threads are read dozens of times but never answered, meanwhile you got all these UNREGISTERED people discussing all this "way over my head" gnutella stuff so you KNOW they could've probably helped a few people with their giant "gnutella gnowledge" but GNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks, kath!
 

i appreciate the fact that you actually take the time to answer (my) posts! it really means a lot to those of us who aren't quite sure what's going on all the time...i like your well-thought-out posts and your personality...too bad you're so many miles away! it would be great to chat about limewire over a cup a joe someday!!!:) anyway, thanks again for pulling the weight of the rest of those slack-*** forum "members". i'll do what i can to answer the easy ones!!!:p

I am no Limesharer but if I can help...

Well, generally any problem you could have has already been experienced by other people, so it would be advisable to take some time and check if it hasn't been posted yet. Of course, that does not mean your post should not be replied. Everybody helps with what each of us can, that's the idea of these forums.

I'm not an experienced user of Limewire either, but I am willing to help whenever I can.

well, then can you tell me how to specify an incoming port on Lw 1.6?

Hi!

Lw uses the same port for incoming and outgoing connections...

You can change this under tools/options/advanced/port...

the standard port for all Gnutella clients is 6346!

Note:

I am using 1.9 so the path can be different...

Good luck!

Morgwen

thanks, but i don't think i can change the port number on the advanced page. it is set to 6346 and will not allow me to change it. i still get an error message telling me to specify...i am using 1.6.:confused:

I send Trustarwarrior a message...

as I said I no Limesharer, but Trustar will sure be able to help you!

sorry, kath. a "cup of joe" is slang for coffee! just a friendly gesture. ;)

Re: 1.6
 

ok-sometimes, after the search results appear on my screen and i begin to highlight an item, as soon as i hit "download any" an error message screen comes up with a whole bunch of gobbledy-goo under a general message that reads "cannot find port..(yadda,yadda) specify incoming port. if i try to download anything off of that page of search results, the same thing happens. sometimes there will be one or two selections that actually work, but , for the most part, every time i hit "download" that error message happens. i'll try to remember more of the error message the next time it happens or i'll copy it to a post so you can see.
