Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you. To aid helpers in solving download/upload problems, LimeWire and Frostwire users must specify whether they are downloading a torrent file or a file from the Gnutella network.
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.

Hi Wayback

I guess that you are a novice eager to use the Internet and gnutella network but keep your computer safe and protected, which is an admiral way to be because far too many novices do not think about protection.

OK, first thing to tell you is that there is no such thing as 100% protection and the best safety app you can have is your own common sense.

That said, Norton 360 is a reasonably good product as it has both anti-virus and firewall apps included but always remember to keep your AV's definitions up to date. An out of date AV is less than useless, a lot of novices let their subscription lapse and/or use very old (outdated) AVs and falsely feel that they are protected.

I would also suggested that you get two or three anti-spyware apps, such as a) Spybot, b) Ad-Aware, c) Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, d) SUPER AntiSpyware, e) Spyware Blaster, all these are free and there are others but these are the ones I use.

However, there are malware out there that will cripple your AV, re-write part of your registry and render themselves undetectable to your other protective apps, this is where you need your common sense to avoid such problems.

I hope I've given you enough for now to think about.


UK Bob

Account where? You have no "account" here. If you're using Limewire, Frostwire, etc., there is no "there" to have an account.

Is referring to having more than one iPod that connects to the computer (& thus user account on computer.)

I'm aware I read somewhere you can do it, I just can't recall where I saw it. I had a quick search earlier couldn't find it. I suspect you may need to rename each iPod differently. Unless you want the same songs on each I guess. But of course it's a little more complex than that with iPod & iTunes if you are using iTunes.

I believe it only matters with iTunes. There are many free, cross-platform programs that will transfer music, videos, etc to/from pod and computer. Only iTunes has the one pod - one computer limitations (two pods cannot share the same files).

About half way thru Apple - Support - iPod Tutorials - Downloading Music and Video shows how to name your iPod. So having a different name for each iPod might work. However Auto synching might not work for all. Manual updating probably will. That's if you are using iTunes. But as Blackhorse 70V suggested, there are 3rd party options to help load iPods.

I still could not find where I once saw about connecting more than one iPod to your computer.

Blackhorse70V, Lord of the Rings, I appreciate the input and I hope (osovetm) received the information from you guys. Good question, it just does not pertain to me nor do I know how it was put in with my Hello, Maybe we posted at the sametime and caused some confusion, Maybe? I don't know. When I tried to contact him through the Quote it seemed like it was coming back to me, again guys I don't know, but I'm sure Osovetm would like to know. You guys seem to be well associated with this forum, see what you can do for Brother Osovetm.

Thanks for your support

Hey Wayback

Don't worry about it, if you stick around long enough you will see that novices will throw in questions (more likely, partially thought out questions) that run against the theme of the thread they are posting in.

So "osovetm" type questions are not unusual.
