Browse Host?!?!
 

Hello,
i am unable to browse the shared files of any users. Whenever i try connect it attempts but then fails. I have this problem with Limewire normal and portable.
on one i have port forwarding and on one i have UDP set up. I am running windows xp pro, have a neatgear wireless router and am connected wirelessly. my internet connection is C18 meg. i don't have trouble downloading files from limewire. any ideas on what my problem may be? Thank you

Browsing is never easy. For a start, the best chances to browse someone is if they have chat enabled. If you enable the chat icon in the search and download windows, you will see some of a smiley icon, some don't. Those that do will be much easier to browse. This is strictly true for people uploading from you. Oh ... and you need to have chat enabled to via your option settings.

Other factors that affect browsing:
* lack of spare upload/download bandwidth or slots from you or other person. * you or the other person are not properly firewall configured. There's probably more reasons but these are the ones I can think of off hand.

To enable chat column, right-click the heading column of the download window & you will see chat option. Same applies for the other windows. ;)
