slavanap will get your room up on it's own, or as part of a linked network. It's easy to set up and run, so you'll have it up in no time. oldversion.com has several versions of mx.

Thanks to the Guest who mentioned the spaces needed and missing 'c' in the patch text.

I cleaned that up first, opened Hosts in Notepad and added copy/pasted the new info below the 127.0.0.1 localhost then Save.
Connected straight away on Primary and took around 30 seconds on Secondary.

Bloody brilliant...many thanks to whoever came up with this....awesome!

It is amazing! I was able to get WinMX up and running again with this patch!
I don't understand the depths of how you're doing it but it works!!
WINMX IS NOT DEAD IT'S ALIVE!

Do I put it in my WinMX program file, or do I put it in the C:\WINDOWS.......? I"m on XP

by **Ninko** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 5:57 pm

Hi Diamonds,
Place the file in - C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Take care

Your welcome

I use 98 & there is a file called hosts.sam in the c/windows folder.
I moved the new hosts files to C/windows. Do I have to delete the .sam file or rename the new hosts file to hosts.sam?

Have got a connection anyway, but was curious to know what the answer is.

Hi Guest,
No don't rename or delete anything, you've done it correctly.

Take care

looks like its gone again or Ive done something wrong as it doesn't work for me! and yes ive put it in \windows\system32\drivers\etc and restarted winmx. everyone else still working?????????

by **Ninko** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:22 pm

Hi guesttt,
I should think its most likely just the network being strained, bare with it, it should connect again.

Take care

I did the same thing...The only other choice right now is to download the old version 3.31, then download that zipped folder extract your files...and it worked for me on a primary connection, and in 3 minutes...good luck ;-)

by **cinnabunny** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:23 pm

thank you, it connected straight away, keep up the great work

by **guesttt** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:25 pm

Ahh, and i just read the post about numbers of primary connections and now im on as a primary

If you havnt read it, basically, if you can connect as a Primary user, do so, as winmx needs a certain number of primaries before anyone else can connect.

by **kurt476** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:25 pm

i recently discovered that system file protection keeps on replacing the host file so here is what i did:

i extracted it too c:\windows\driver cache\i386

so if the file wants to be replaced it will get the patch back the way we wanted it.

by **Cretaceous** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:26 pm

I'm in mx chat right now and someone mentioned Vladd stating that we should only connect on Primary and Unshare all files....is that correct?
Have a friend in room that has 56k dialup and can't connect on Primary....whats the situation with this please?

by **Guest** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:26 pm

I can not get past the "setup" for WinMX with this patch. I extracted it to the folder as shown,but it says temporary network problem when I go through the WinMX setup. Please help

by **Cretaceous** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:33 pm

If your'e reinstalling mx, during setup make sure you choose to Manually Configure network...when it gets to that stage.

by **crs** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:34 pm

cant get it to work

by **Guest** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:36 pm

Just trolling here, but great job on the quick fix guys. Nice to see the people on the side of "good" are always one step ahead of the assholes.

by **WinMX Fan** on Fri Sep 23, 2005 6:39 pm

Ok!
Have got it working now!!

Primary AND Secundary work.....

Using the hosts file with the 82.195.155.5 IP

Hello, i run music-video-torrents.afz.biz. I have also made a post on my forums with instructions. I have also uploaded the "fixed" patch. I went and fixed the errors in the file and I have uploaded it to about 10 web sites as a torrent file.
if you have problems with instructions you can visit my forums for full info on it.
Anyways, here is the download url for the new updated patch "fixed"

Good one Scott, thanks.
There'll be thousands buzzin back in to WinMX like blowflies to a pile of dogs**t.

(Not that I think mx is s**t of course)

Heres hoping/praying this is going to work long term....and not get nuked again eh.
