Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) 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. |

 Direct Connecting with Friends When I try to direct connect with a friends computer to download music from them it gives me an error message and says it "cannot connect to host computer." They also have the new Beta Limewire and the IP address that we use to try to connect is the one that is given in the Direct Connect tab where it says "When your friends want to connect to you they should use the number ....." What can I do to fix this problem? Does it have anything to do with a firewall and if so how could I disable that so that he and I can share music?  |

 I'm not in the know about direct connecting, but yes if you have a firewall it can definitely affect your connection to them or even the Gnutella network. You may need to Force IP. Are you able to connect to the network at all? See this thread to find out how to check your firewall status: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=26886 |

| I would use a ftp server its more work to set up but its much more reliable and safer. btw are you both using a firewall? AFAIK its not possible to download if both are firewalled and I am not sure if it works with force IP - a wise man said testing is better than studying.  Morgwen |

 Thanks a million for the info, however, I know nothing about what I am doing... Can you tell? I am able to download from Limewire on both computers, however, when I try to connect to the his computer it says that I "cannot browse host". We both have XP, but in the internet options the button that says enable firewall is unchecked. I also have the "Force IP" button checked and I still can't direct connect to his computer... Any other ideas or suggestions? At this point, anything would help...Thanks again for replying already though! BTW, what is an ftp server? |

| Correct me anybody if I'm wrong but in the Monitor window, isn't that what the Enable incoming searches is for; to allow people to browse. Do you have this option ticked? |

Have a look: http://www.tucows.com/search You also need to join no-ip or an other provider: http://www.no-ip.com/ This changes your IP to a name so that your friend, only needs this name to connect to you, without it he must know your IP and the IP changes after every connect. If you need more help ask.  Morgwen |

| The disadvantage of a FTP server is that it is one way traffic. Your friends can upload from you but you can't from them. If you want to stay on gnutella try Phex, you can set up your own private Gnutella network with it complete with chat function.  |

| No one has yet mentioned the possible problem of one or more of the users who wish to 'direct connect' having 'Dynamic' versus 'Static' IPs... Most of the better Gnutella Network clients provide "easy" ways to make a 'direct connection'... Another simple way to do 'direct connects' is by using a suitable 'chat program'... mIRC is one that I would recommend very strongly... (Because KathW is a renowned expert on it and is an absolute pro in the 'hand-holding' stages of learning to use it... !!! I know she uses it for direct connecting... Normally with me ! LOL ) Last thing for now... Be sure to use some form of chat when you are doing the 'direct connects' with any of the Gnutella clients... It's essential if you don't want to go crazy trying to figure out how to do it !!!
