Browse Host is pretty unreliable... one minute you won't be able to browse & the next you can. Always try to browse a host with chat enabled (you'll see a smiley in the Chat column). You should also have chat enabled (tools > options > chat)

You'll find that you have the greatest chance of success if you're trying to browse a LW or FW (shows as Snow) host. Try using right click > browse host, as well as the Browse Host button.

There seems to be a fair bit of luck involved in being able to browse

I used both methods (right click > browse host, as well as the Browse Host button) but it does not work.
I used this feature about 2 months earlier every day and it gave me results virtually for every time i use browse host feature. But for last two monts I'm not getting even one hit.

In that case, you could try deleting the LW preferences folder. There's no guarantee that it will work, but it seems to fix a few strange problems
See points 2 & 3 below. LW has to be properly closed or it won't work! Deleting this folder will kill all of your settings within tools > options, you'll have to go back through & reset things afterwards
