Default Inability to Browse Shared Directory

How are they able to block browse? and BTW... do you have any proof of this? It this stated somewhere in a LW manual?
Let me tell you that my shared folder cannot be browsed by others, not because it is a deliberate action on my part but a consequence of the security equipment (both hardware and software) I use.

First, I have a modem router, containing a NAT table/firewall, that will automatically reject any internet communication that was not initiated by my PC.

Second, I have installed Norton Personal Firewall, fully set to stealth all ports and reject anything that has not been requested.

Third, I have switched off the “chat” function within LW, I understand that without “chat” the browse function has difficulty working.

However, despite that I can download from others and I can monitor other P2P users downloading files from me.

Finally, there is no function within LW that can tell you whether someone is or is not sharing their files.

Therefore, your idea (or feeling) that “if you cannot browse someone they are not sharing their files” is entirely false.
