Hi holla812

The host that you are trying to chat with must have there chat enabled also. LimeWire must also be running in the foreground for them to see it, and they have to be in front of the screen to see it.

Most hosts go onto something else once they have LW started, and que what they want to d/l, so they never see the chat request when it is initiated. I have been gulty of this more than once.
