Is there a way to have LimeWire search by IP?

Let's say I give a friend my IP address. Can't LimeWire show that person a list of the file's designated as Shared on my PC?

I ask mainly because, while others can see my files and download, friends and family never see me. And, no, I don't have the configuration set to ignore freeloaders.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

If your friends and family are running limewire and your host can accept incoming connection they can complete the following steps to connect to your node.

1. From the connection tab type the IP_ADDR in the appropriate field and click ADD. In your connection tab you should see a connection to your host from their ip address.

I think this will do it. I've heard people suggesting it before but I personally don't know if it works or not.

If you have any problems let me know.

Hope this helps.
