how cam i???...
 

i have a ?tion how can i search a user without right clicking on a file? :confused:

I don't know the answer to that question. In earlier versions of LW there was a specific Browse Host button. There was also by default the little sun that indicated a host had chat enabled. But then when I updated from LW 2 to LW 4 this had disappeared. It took me ages to find out how to chat with someone. Also the chat display column needs to be set from right-clicking for windows or control-click for mac ontop of the column bar.

Late edit: Some more on Setting up Chat (click on link)

ok let me put that another way: How can i browse a host with their id number?

But you don't need their id no. in order to browse them. Just right-click the file & select Browse Host. Or are you refering to direct connecting with them? Which I guess is very similar. You could try this by obtaining their id from the list. And adding the port no. & hope they use port 6346. Actually LW seems to add the port no. for you.

How do i do that?

Which one are you refering to. For mouse right-click see here:

In the search results you will see their id no. Just add it to your direct connect search type.

I should have told you how to find direct connect. It helps if you have LW 4.2

thx for info but i have the virsion before that. how do i up grade and still keepmy files??

No problem. Use the Remove function from Add/Remove control panel. Then install the new version. It won't remove your shared folders. And your preferences should also remain the same. More particularly your incompletes will still be there. Just make sure you have a reasonably update version of Java: Java 1.4.2 (click on link)
