How do I browse host if I know the IP
 
address. I had to reboot while browsing a host. I wrote down the ip address. Now how do I use the IP address to find the same person and browse their shared files?

Thank

I'm no expert, but knowing the IP address probably doesn't help you. I just tested an IP search under the'any type' catagory, and got no results, even though I had just used the 'Browse Host' option from within a search and knew that the IP WAS available.
Try re-doing the same search. If your lucky, the same person will be on-line at the time, and you can browse it then. :)

Yea, I tried that too to no avail. Napster had a feature to save "favorites" of your good hosts. Does Limewire have that? I haven't found it if it does.

Thanks again.

No, there is no "favorite host" option.

But, when you do a "Browse Host" the port number also comes up. So, if you do an IP search, I would think that you need to have their port number also.

I did. It didn't work.

Not all hosts allow browsing. So it may be that the host you are trying to browse doesn't allow it. Also, they could be offline. If it's a firewalled host, I don't believe you can browse their files.
