I'm not sure about File_Girl71's fix, hopefully she can respond to that. I should imagine it's only asking for an admin. password to allow it. Her fix helps prevent LW deleting the connection file if LW has not been used in a month or longer.

Can you give more details about your problem with sharing?
Unless your files are music in which case id3 tags should be sufficient, giving your files a description can help your files show up in other peoples' search results. Unfortunately the LPE description tool does not work for video. And LPE's description tool is not as advanced as the LW 4 description tool was.

Go to your menu bar, Tools -> Advanced Tools ... does it say anything about being firewalled?

(This is a message you would see if you had firewall issues. Ideally it would say you are not behind a firewall.)
