How do I get my Ip Number, to give to my friends?

in Limewire click on the arrow besite "what's New" on Search page Then Direct connect and all is revealed. Note that some peoples ip no changes fairly frequently.. mine does. Some stay permanently the same.

I'm surprised your ip doesn't show on LW when you select Direct Connect. If it's not there then it does suggest your firewall is not properly configured. And it should be if you wish to Direct Connect. Check your incoming in the bug test & see if it's true or false. If false then your LW is probably being partially blocked. Double-check the Sticky at the top of this section about Direct Connect about important points you should know. You can also use Magnet links to help connect to your friends & share files. Once they start downlding your magnet link you can browse them from the upld/monitor window & they can browse you from their downld window.

I got the impression he did not know how to select Direct Connect in the first place. It is slightly hidden away

Direct Connect search type is easier to find on the windows version LW. There's search type tabs. Whereas on mac it's a drop down menu.

Thanks for explaining that. I keep forgetting there are peple out there still using that antiquated Windowze stuff.

Hmmph #1 in the world for some reason

Well ... we have to forgive those windows systems that try so hard to copy what the mac os does. They try ever so hard but always get it wrong. After all windows knew nothing about the icon system until they copied mac's ideas & were taken to court over it. Unfortunately M$ doesn't have many original ideas of their own! But they come out with something then brag about it in their adverts despite it never being their original idea. The only M$ original ideas are the bugs people continually get on their windows systems. lol DOH!

I guess that is why most of the world uses WINDOWS
