Select Direct Connect Search type & it will show you your id no. But you need to find out what your friends id no.'s are. Once you know, you can type tht no. onto the box. For direct connecting it's best to try to make sure you & your friend have an available slot. So make sure you're not too busy upldlding & dwnlding at that time. It may even help if you both have Chat function enabled (Tools>Options>Chat & tick option box & press apply button.)

You mean your version doesn't tell you. It does on the mac version of LW 4.2 Another quick & easy way is to go here: http://www.whatismyip.com/

LimeWire will only show your IP address in the 'Direct Connect' screen if it detects you can receive incoming connections. Not everyone is capable of being browsed (firewalls, etc..), so not all direct connects will work.
