direct connect error
 

when i go to direct connect with my friend i put his number in then it says cannot browse host. why does it say that? how can i browse his files?

I am not a Bearshare program expert, but I'd suggest it's probably because either you or yor friend or both are firewalled & don't have your FW properly configured. You can't DC thru a firewall if it's not configured to allow you to. ;)
