The most common problem when cutting-and-pasting a room address is you end up with an extra space at the end.
Check to make sure this didn't happen when you tried to put it in.
FAiling that, a less than optimal option that will at least get you usable is to set both incoming TCP and UDP as unable to accept.
You'll be stuck on a secondary connection, but you shoudl be able to connect, search and transfer files.

I have two modes: wiseass and dumbass. Current mode is determined by blood alcohol level.
Drinking is a sport. In order to be competitive, you must practice on a regular basis. Although you can practice alone, it is more fun to practice with friends. If you practice too hard, you will regret it the following day.
Life is a disease. It is sexually transmitted and always terminal.

I helped dfahie, he got into the room fine.
Helped unblock ports from his firewall and router but his problem is actually his isp Shaw as it was isp blocking. (Even setting TCP and UDP as unable and restarting winmx as 2ndary connection didn't work for him.)
Suggested to him to change isp.

Damn Shaw, I missed that the first time.

It's a complicated process involving unblocking by firewall, router and isp.
As it involves some 20 questions thru and fro, I prefer to simply settle it in like 20mins in a chatroom than on a forum. Simply more time-effective to do so in a chatroom. Most ppl on other forums do not have the luxury of a chatroom with helpers to get realtime WinMX help, unlike this forum
So take advantage of our Vladd44 Help Room here where we can help u online : http://www.vladd44.com/phpbb2/viewtopic ... 4707#34707
riverratmike, I just added u to yahoo so contact me when u r online.

Has something changed on the WINMX servers? - since this weekend I've not been able to connect long enuf to download anythng. Nothing has changed on my machines, and as far as Hughes.net will admit nothing has been changed there.
