Even though LimeWire is generally used to share music files, I am trying to apply LimeWire to share lectures for students.

I placed several test lectures on my host and added the .ppt sharing extension. But when I go to another LimeWire client and start a Search for a lecture by title, the search comes up empty - even when I select "All Types" instead of just "Documents" - and even when I specify my host IP ! And the client also has the .ppt extension and allows file sharing.

I was hoping this would be easy as sharing music - but clearly I am doing something wrong! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance -
