Browse Host is pretty unreliable... one minute you won't be able to browse & the next you can. Always try to browse a host with chat enabled (you'll see a smiley in the Chat column). You should also have chat enabled (tools > options > chat)
![]() You'll find that you have the greatest chance of success if you're trying to browse a LW or FW (shows as Snow) host. Try using right click > browse host, as well as the Browse Host button. There seems to be a fair bit of luck involved in being able to browse

I used both methods (right click > browse host, as well as the Browse Host button) but it does not work.
I used this feature about 2 months earlier every day and it gave me results virtually for every time i use browse host feature. But for last two monts I'm not getting even one hit. Annasi |

In that case, you could try deleting the LW preferences folder. There's no guarantee that it will work, but it seems to fix a few strange problems
![]() See points 2 & 3 below. LW has to be properly closed or it won't work! Deleting this folder will kill all of your settings within tools > options, you'll have to go back through & reset things afterwards Fixes for LimeWire |
