I am having problems searching for things. I have a primary connection but no secondary connection. the top is p=4, s=0, spm=5056. I have tired to look at other people's problems and their solutions but it just didn't work for me. I am using windows xp, both tcp and udp are set up as 6699 and 6257. I have a motorola sb5120 cable modem. when i tried to forward my ports I could not find my modem in the list. Can anyone help me get the secondary numbers?

Modems do not need forwarding. Only routers do. It can take some time for secondaries to get connected to you, at most an hour, depending on various factors. Do you get any search results? Do your uploads and downloads start? Do you have the latest www.winmxgroup.com patch?
It must be an issue with firewalls. If you have any other firewall other than XP, then allow winmx in that and PLEASE be sure to close the XP firewall.
Then things should be fine I think.
Do tell what happened
Cheers :)

Yesterday when I would try to search it didn't come back with anything, but today it comes up with some songs. I try to download them but it always comes back as a file error. It looks like this: File Error > (5) "Access to file. Incomplete". When you say to turn off the xp firewall do you mean just the windows firewall? I turned off the windows firewall and it still didn't let me download anything. I have downloaded the latest version of the patch and I still have a problem with it.

File error (5) The file you are trying to download is not available because someone has moved or deleted it during your download .
It might be worth your while coming down to the help chatroom where someone will be able to discuss the problem & check things are working.
If you get no channel list, it would suggest a problem with UDP port, however if you don't you can still get to the room by hitting the chat button, dismissing the warning & pasting

in the space next to the filter button on the channel list page & hitting "Join"
Meanwhile I would not recommend running with no firewall & advise you turn the XP firewall back on & follow the instructions to set it up up on this page https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/firewall.html just click on
Microsoft Windows XP Firewall OR
Microsft Windows XP Firewall SP2
according to which you have.
Also if you use Norton AV 2005 or later this page is worth a look, your problem might be there

/me ish tiredish
Even so, given it's habit of renabling, setting it first, then shutting off to rely on something else may be prudent.

Whoops... didn't read me here's post :oops:

Ok now i am confused.. lol
If you have other firewalls you dont have to use the one for XP, its does have a habit of enabling itself so here is what to do.
If you have norton, Zone Alarm or some other firewall Allow WinMx in that. If you dont have another firewall we DO NOT want you to turn the XP one off. (hard to see but we all agree on that..giggles)
Once this is done either check the XP firewall is configured or off.
*/me re-reads to see if this is even worser....
