hi again!! am finally able to upload and download--winxp,dsl with router(unable to changer ports here) norton 2005(exception to always allow confirmed), have settings set to unable to receive or send tcp-udp......everything was right on my computer---what enabled me to upload and download was firewall settings on puter where router is connected----right clicked on internet icon/change firewall settings/exception tab/programs and services--winmx application--edit/change scopecheck custom list and put in all ip addresses of my puter, the one for the router, and the puter where the router is connected----then i installed the pie patch on the puter where the router is connected and did ipconfig /flushdns--------------uploads, downloads, searches and chat room lists are all working fine now, however i still get disconnected quite often and takes a few minutes to get reconnected but all in all is working as normal, lol.......just thought this might help a few who have tried everything like i have

[subhuman_bob]

then i installed the pie patch on the puter where the router is connected and did ipconfig /flushdns

Are you using Internet Conenction Sharing?
I hadn't even thought of that as a possible issue until now- but it makes sense that it could be a problem. From what you're explaining, it sounds like the computer that is sharing the connection does the DNS lookups- not the computer that is requesting the IP. If that's the case, it would make sense that you'd need to update the hosts file on that computer, not the one you're using to run winMX.....
I'll have to look into this.

[mid_1961]

no, we each have our own line on the dsl modem/router....#1 computer doesnt have to be connected for me to have a connection...but i thought i would try the program sharing option to see if it would work and waaaa laaaa it did lol

Winmx took an hour to connect last night, i updated the pie patch today after having the same problem and noticing the winmx site was now telling me there's a newer patch, its still taking ages to connect 15 mins last time, it was fine before yesterday and connected seconds after disconnecting, since i'm only able to use a secondary connection if it takes ages to connect i lose my queues.

When i got to the winmx website it says update the pie patch but i've done it twice with 2.9 but no change.


NVM the problem has vanished.

Hello again. Before Christmas, my WinMX was working brilliantly. Now I can't get beyond P=8 S=0.

I have retried the patch, checked all the other settings, 'been patient' for hours and hours.

Yesterday I could gain access to the chat room, today I can't.

Help again please.

[CoCo]

My operating system is window XP
isp is iCable
I dunno how to know about the patch and router of my computer .
I have the same problem of connecting the Winmx.For me, secondary is the only option,either. But even it cannot be connected><
Above said "host" file, but I can't find it in the Winmx file of the Program file -.-where can I find it? Also ,where can I download the xp2.2.zip and the setup.exe in order to replace the host file then?
