Regarding the difference in results, the only thing I can think of is that when you connect via dial-up vs DSL your search horizon is different that is, each machine is connected to a different portion of the network. For example I run several machines out of several locations. Sometimes I can search from one and receive results from ALL the others other times, only from a few and yet other times none of the other ones. Don't forget content on the network is constantly shifting as people logon and log off.

Finally, regarding your ability to upload file to other users. I would recommend you check the library tab to see if you are getting hits. If so, then at least you know that you are returning results. Also just because you are not seeing any upload activity doesn't mean that your files can't be uploaded.

Finally, For all the people who took my advice above to increase their chances of actually being able to download stuff. Well, those settings i.e. filters will reduce the number of results you see because they will basically ignore anyone who is behind a firewall. This was good advise at the time however, there have been several improvements in the software that I'm not sure that filtering is necessary.


Hope this helps.


Good luck!
