Browse Host not working?

#1 August 4th, 2002

Hi folks,

Just DL'd and installed LimeWire Pro, primarily to use the 'Browse Host' feature. The first time I brought up LWPro after the install, there it was.

I've quit the program and re-launched (left the computer for a few hours), and now the 'Browse Host' button never activates.

Mac OS X 10.1.4......Any ideas?

Well, that WOULD make sense, wouldn't it! Geesh, don't know what I was thinking.....

Thanks!

So, in other words, this feature which I've waited a long time for -- the number one feature I miss from Napster -- is absolutely USELESS since none of the people I can find use 2.5.5.

...or do you need to have the Pro version to use this? The documentation on the website is completely out of date. None of the FAQs or screenshots even talk about or show this feature.

I also bought Limewire Pro in order to use the Browse Host feature. It would've been really nice if the Limewire website was a little more informative about the insidious nature of this "feature". I feel a dash ripped off myself.
