hi ya.... here goes ... i dont think im hosting a room ???? whatever that is . i have always used the top option on my winmx networks page which i think is a secondary connection and it tells me i cant have a primary because my modem is too slow or something.... i have attempted to do all the unable to get TCP and UDP connections .... messed about with my firewalls..... if i go to add/remove programs and delete winmx then i download it either loads really quick and does the same old passive firewall shit or it just keeps on doing the files downloading but it gets so far and stops ................. what is going on.????????????? cheers

Are you hosting a room on WinMX?

If not then there is no reason for you to have a primary connection, and its ok that WinMX cant find your TCP or UDP.

Go to the networks page and make sure the little circle that says 'Make a Secondary connection to WinMX' is the one ticked.

Then go to Settings > Internet Connections > Incoming TCP, make sure the box that says 'Unable to get TCP connection' is the one ticked.

Then go to Settings > Internet Connections > In/Out UDP Packets, make sure the one ticked says 'Unable to get a UDP connection'.

That should get you almost 100%...

Let me know how that goes.. if that doesnt work we are going POSTAL on it.. lol

hi there .... now i have tried your suggestions with no luck the final option will not install because it cant find a TCP/UDP connection ..... the same old shit..... think you could be on to something about windows updates ...... would a complete restore sort it out or is this a bit drastic??? or are there any other programs similar to winmx i might have more luck with..... thanks for all your help .laters

Okay,
Heres what I know for sure....

One. You have a modem that does not contain a portforwarding option, so we can rule that out.

Two. If you dont know what a router is chances are you dont have one, they are a box that allows you to connect more then one computer in the house to the net via the same internet connection and would be hooked up like this Internet In to Modem to Router to computer(s).

Three. Your using Macfee for your firewall, are you using Windows XP by chance, there is a built in firewall and with some updates from Microsoft has a habit of enableing itself. To see if its enabled do this

Go to your control panel and look for an icon that says Firewall, if you dont see one go to the icon that says 'Network Connections' double click it, then right click the 'Local Area Network' icon and choose Properties. From there you will see an Advanced tap near the top, click that and it should say 'Protect my computer from outside intrusions', if that box is ticked either untick it or go to here to learn how to allow WinMX through. Windows XP Firewall.
If that is Not ticked then we need to consider other options, is it necesary for you to have a primary connection to WinMX, like for hosting. If not then I suggest this..

Go to Settings in WinMX, choose Internet connections, then Incoming TCP Connections and make sure the option that says 'Unable to receive TCP' is ticked.
Then go to IN/OUT UDP connections and do the same.

Some users will get a message 'Both Users Firewalled' when trying to download from you or visa versa, but it may be the only way it will work for you for now.

The last alternative would be to try to reinstall the WinMX program to a new folder in your program files and see if it helps...

Let me know once you have tried these things how your doing...

Hi Evilc, I think your entering it into the wrong box , the address bar is where you enter the router access number, the google search bar is not the same or right place.

Its the really long white box, at the top of your Internet Explorer page, enter the numbers (something like these I think 192.168.?.? ) and hit the GO at the end of the bar to access the routers setup panel.

I hope that helps

Okay.. now we can get somewhere i think...

The modem you have has NAT capabilities, in other words it sends information to the computer your using and WinMX is not getting through. What we need to do is set your Voyager up to allow WinMX.

The only trouble I see is the brands didnt match up, however the instructions I found for you should be almost identical.

Go to this site Port Forwarding the BT Voyager 205 ADSL.

On this page you will see instructions with pictures, just follow along as you go through the steps.
IT IS NOT necessary to set up a Static IP so just skip that part of the instructions.

Once you have done this I usually tell folks to reboot the machine and then give it a try. Should get you rolling..

Also, be sure if your XP firewall is enabled that you have set a rule or exception to allow WinMX through...you can see how by going here Configuring Your Firewalls for WinMX

Let us know if this helped ya out..

Can you tell me if you have a router or dsl modem that might need to be forwarded.. sounds like something is blocking your ports for WinMX to me...and what firewalls your using also would be helpful...

Thanks...

I really need the brand and model of it or them if so...
