HELP! I have used WinMX for many years. I was connected 24/7 until they shut down and then thanks to your patch got going again. Now due to divorce I am trying to connect on a new computer and I am having trouble. I know nothing about firewalls, etc. I have a DSL connection. When I go through setup I am told to use a SOCKS proxy? I installed PIE Auto Updater and still no connection.
If u have a problem getting connected, come down to our Vladd44 Help room here where we can help u (u can enter this room whether u r connected to winmx or not) : http://www.vladd44.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=6514
Thanks for the help but I've already tried that. I have removed and installed winmx several times. The only way I can get it to load on my computer is to use a socks proxy and it still does not connect. I also tried to get into the help room and I get nothing.
