I can't connect to winmx I have n't had this problem in the past.
-
you will have to expand with a few details in order to help you mae.....what operating system are you using also what connection/isp modem or router details & what version of winmx are you using
also what firewall & has winmx been allowed in it
the more detail you give the quicker we can get you up & running
just one more thing do you have the latest patch?
winmx & patch downloads
http://60.234.228.71:4949 (http://60.234.228.71:4949)
if the current winmx you have is from b4 july 12 go to the above link & d/load the multi installer and run
ps @ omega ... your updated d/load site >>>> http://patches.mxomega.com (http://patches.mxomega.com) seems to be down for some reason

WinMx stopped working around 11:20 PM, US Central time, 9-06-07. was d/ling and u/ling fine. connection went dead and 'light flashes yellow. using windows xp over mediacom cable.
I have the exact same problem. Flashing yellow, no connection. Does this mean that the whole show is over (hopefully only temporarily) or is it just some kind of isolated incident?
Any WinMX superusers in here who have some good insider info?
It'll be a sad day indeed if WinMX is truly no more... :(

Hi All,, I lost all my d/l and u/l thru the night and had yellow connection light flashing
I rebooted and all seems ok now,

Anyone having issue through the nite please read this thread

Confirmed: connection is back and steady. Thanx everyone! :D
-
Hi Gridbug
That is great news.
Happy winmxing!!!!!!!!
-
I've downloaded the patch. (3.0-3.54b4) WinMx connects very quickly but now Kaspersky is telling me that the patch is a Trojan. What am I to believe? It obviously is as it got into my restore files, I was not able to restore to an earlier date on my main computer and also all my music files within WinMx today were gone. Very strange!
-
Kaspersky & a few other security progs do recognize it as a trojan but only because the patch changes a file within winmx to enable it to connect ..... i can assure you it is not a trojan and cant cause a problem with your restore as it doesn't go anywhere except into your winmx files to make the appropriate changes.. the restore is probably a fault within your o/s i run xp pro and get the same problem and i can assure you its not winmx related it seems to be an intermittant fault with xp as sometimes i can and sometimes cant restore to a earlier time sometimes trying different dates resolves the issue & sometimes threatening the pc with a big hammer also works :wink: (perhaps if anyone reading this has found a cure for this they will share it with us)
As for your music files you might want to check the correct file path is selected you can do this by going to settings then click on the file transfers tab and go to the top right of this screen and check its pointing to the appropriate folder you selected for your d/loads to go to then click on close
Then click on library then open the add folder tab and select the folder you wish to share making sure you tick the appropriate file extensions you wish to share also
hope this sheads some light on your problems if not feel free to post back & someone will be sure to help out :)
as security i personaly prefer sygate and avg as these are a lot more p2p friendly than most .
-
The place I got the patch was from this site https://patch.winmxconex.com/ as listed in this forum. As soon as I try to download it again, I get a loud warning of a trojan. Is this a reputable site, that is ... is it really WinMx?
-
yes it is a reputable site & the one used by the majority of winmx users to connect without problems .... the warning you are getting is a false one the reason you are getting this msg is because you have installed it b4 and Kaspersky saw it falsley as a trojan & when you try to re download it then once again it is recognising it as the same ..... Kaspersky is none to user friendly for p2p...... several security progs these days are anti p2p and show such warnings falsly but trust me tens of thousands if not a hell of a lot more are using this patch with no problems what so ever.
-
OK. Strange though that the patch worked fine until today with no trojan warning. I have WinMx running on two computers, the same thing happened to both that a) can't restore at any points in Win XP and b) that under the library Tab on WinMx everything I had shared there disappeared .... on both computers. Kaspersky message says it's:
Infected: Trojan program Trojan.Win32.Agent.bpv I:\system volume information\_restore{8d290bb5-e59c-462b-a0ee-e8949a1e4344}\rp85\a0013668.exe 289.6 KB
It bothers me that the same thing has occured to two computers. Thought at first that a virus list update picked this up today for the first time but the fact that it's affected the restore section and has wiped out the library list makes me suspicious. I'll be curious to see if anyone else has had this happen to them. It's almost as if the patch had a preset date to do this but you tell me it's reputable so I believe you.
-
Well looking at that, it has nothing to do with WinMX or the patch. The one in your restore point is an "exe" of size 289.6 KB which is too small to be WinMX. Also, the patch is a "dll" and not an "exe."
-
I've just gone back to the site which offers the patches as listed in a previous post. The patch is listed as an .exe and not a .dll
-
Thats because they are installers, you can also downoad the dll on its own to place in your WinMX directory manually, should you wish:

Just lost connection to winmx completely never had this issue b4 as micro set me up perfectly.
tried the above patches and also tried complete reinstall with no joy any help welcome thanx
-
Hi Bengal,
Could you give us some details about your system?
Operating System?
Router or DSL Modem with router?
Firewalls?
Did anything odd or memerable happen prior to this ?
-
Thank you for the dll patch site, WinMX works perfectly again :D and not setting off any A/V alarms.
-
Hi me here
Sorry for l8 reply ive been on nightshifts.
I cant remember changing anything on my pc the only thing that has happened is a change ov line rental provider wgich happened days earlier they said that it isnt down to them as to my connection problem.
my OPS is vista ultimate
router is belkin
firewall is windows/defender i believe.
i thank u for yr time in replyin to me appreciated
-
I think to be safe I would go back through things and just double check them
First making sure the rules you had set up in the router are still there and for the correct Internal IP address. Next I would remove WinMX from the allowed rules in the windows firewall stuff and then restart it..
Normally not being able to connect is down to a firewall issue not the router..
-
Connection help:
I have tried every suggestion I could find in the forum. It comes to screeching halt
trying to make outgoing tcp connection. I tried bypassing but it never connects.
At one point It did make the outgoing tcp connection and everything was cool. But the next time I tried to log on I never connected.
OS: win xp sp2
Firewall: Windows
ISP: Bellsouth, DSL, Ethernet, speed 100mbps
Modem: Westell 6100
Any suggestions up to and including wrist slitting would be greatly appreciated.
-
hi hun.. no wrist slitting will be needed.. lol but i would like a bit more information from you
I'd like to know what you mean but connecting when you say:
trying to make outgoing tcp connection. I tried bypassing but it never connects.
Do you mean transfers dont connect or do you mean the flashing yellow light happens?
Id also like to know what you have done with the XP firewall and modem with ports too hun.
Bascially what I need to know is what you mean by not connecting?
And what you have done so far to try to fix that?
-
OK, a little history. I have been using WINMX for a couple of years (on a really sucky dial up) and never had any problems other than turtle like speed. Had a system crash in June 07 (Bad mem stick) tried to load winmx again but no go.
a couple of weeks ago I found Winmx forum, and I thought SALVATION. Finally got DSl a week ago. what blows what's left of my mind is the fact that last Thurs I was able load winmx and actually use it. Closed the prog for the night . When I tried to start up Fri got the infamous yel blinker.
Durig set up right after specify connection type the prog tries to connect its test servers. This is where it fails to make outgoing tcp connection. If I manuall config (no proxy server, no incoming tcp, no udp packets) it goes to the "I'm forever blinking yellow mode"
I never get a prompt from xp firewall to allow winmx. Tried turning off firewall, also disabled all sryware/adware programs. Tried the fush dns thing.
I dunno, will taking hostages help??????
-
Ahhh the infamous westell 6100, same modem I have. If you have the latest winmx and patch most likely you need to forward ports through your modem. Start by choosing winmx ports in winmx settings. Add these ports to windows firewall and also add them to your modem by following these instructions http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Westell/Westell6100/WinMX.htm.
Good Luck :)
-
Thanks for the tip. I am currently not at home but I'll definitely take a shot at it when I get home. What concerns me is the fact that the symptoms appear to be the same on two different entities a dial up modem and the dsl modem. I am beginning to suspect that the problem is a rare electronical phenomenom caused by internal bamboozlement!!!!!!!
-
Hi Srts41
I would like to add here. Make sure you have the right patch as well. To get the patches go here:
https://patch.winmxconex.com/
Please post back and let us know how you go.
-
Yes, that is the patch I'm using. (3.0mod3-3.54) What is really frustrating is that
I loaded WINMX on my daughters puter today and it worked flawlessly. I suspect my problem is internal to my machine because it never hits the firewall when I am
loading the program. Is this a logical asssumption?? I am praying that some magical
guru will come to the aid of a mental midget!!!!
-
P.S.
I tried loading using dial up again today. WINMX used to work with this modem,
Same result, nada zip , zilch.
-
Hi srts41
I would check what programs are running on your daughters pc and than chekc yours. As it could be an internal program that you might be using on yours.
Post back and let us know.
-
perhaps get your daughter to copy her working winmx folder send to you and try running it on your pc also are you running diffrent firewalls/security ? as certain ones you can beat half to death with a big stick but they still wont let winmx work........ as silicon said try compaire progs to see what you have running as opposed to your daughter & let us no any that might be causing a conflict so we can perhaps advise if this may be causing a problem for you.... some items such as torrent clients have caused problems for me in the past.
-
Sounds like you have a firewall / antivirus program blocking winmx. Try doing a clean install of winmx (delete the program folder and all settings of winmx). What are you using for an antivirus / firewall program? Is your daughters pc on the same network? You did not mention that your using a router. The westell 6100 modem has it's own firewall. I had to add ports to mine in order to use any filesharing / gaming software.
-
Hi Guys And gals,
I think I finally solved my problem. Winmx was running when my system
crashed with a memory problem. It must have trashed something deep inside the operating system. I reloaded XP this evening and connected to winmx just like in the old days. Thanks to everyone in here who offered suggestions.
After trying all those known fixes, I knew it had to be something in my system.
-
no worries srts41 any other problems just post back & someone will be sure to help you
-
i can help you heres the patch of WinMX just go to " https://patch.winmxconex.com/" & look for "Install for Multi-versions Patched" then install what ever patch you want + the patches have MXPie with them :D
-
The patches have nothing to do with MXPIE what so ever DooMer that is a diffrent patch altogether
-
you dont have mxpie patch you need it cos the government disconnected it in 2005
[Edit] spam link removed by Ghostship
-
mxpie patch is NOT needed DooMer & it was winmx aka frontcode that was shut down
the patches here at https://patch.winmxconex.com/ (http:// https://patch.winmxconex.com/) are wmw patches the only patched that are needed mxpie patch is a totaly different thing & nothing to do with this site ...please stop confusing people & check out about the patches so you know what is what
-
Hi working on Windows XP Professional & just singed into my WinMX program after quite a few months of not being on it, this is my time with trying to connect with windows XP Professional with SP2 -- I have shut down my firewall & still no luck is not connecting to the internet
-
Hi jlouden........ u say u havent used winmx in quite a few months.... you'll probably need to
update your patch.... u can go to this site and download "Setup For Existing Installs"
https://patch.winmxconex.com/ (http:// https://patch.winmxconex.com/) Make sure winmx is off and run that patch installer
.... restart winmx and ya should be good 2 go.....post back here if u have any further problems....
sumbody will get ya fixed up :)
-
My computer burned up. I bought a new one, but when I downloaded Winmx with the patch, it will not stay connected long. I went back and downloaded the patch by itself, but that didn't help either. The time I am connected everything times out. I miss Winmx. please help. Thanks
-
sounds possibly like a port forwarding problem
plz give more details.... o/s....security...isp...modem/router make and model
also could you plz confirm if you d/loaded the winmx/patch from the link below
https://patch.winmxconex.com/
-
win xp norton security, earthlink, dial-up modem (pci soft modem fax with smart cp) I downloaded the full winmx 3.54 with the patch. It wouldn't stay connected so I went back and got the patch alone. Still not working. I set the firewall to allow ins and outs with winmx, but that didn't help either.
-
I left it alone waiting for a reply and it started working - finally. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Try running for a while with norton off just to check if this is the problem......norton tends to cause problems with p2p as we have seen a few times b4
If this is not the case and your pci modem model is PCI BLW-HPMM please try the link below and follow the instructions there
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/PCI/BLW-HPMM/WinMX.htm
-
ok scratch that then.....if it aint broke dont try fix it :)

Hi, Trying to reconnect WinMX with my new internet hookup. I have Windows ME (and I love it and never have any problems). I was having a blast with WinMX on my old internet hookup and had no problems.
Since I have a new hookup, cannot get on at all. My new service provider is Cogeco cable TV. My router says RCA digital Broadband on it and underneath it says Model # DCM425.
I went to the HELP in Winmx and got as far as the TCP and UDP ports and TCP is 6699 and UDP is 6257.
But when I get to the part where I need to know the IP and Gateway, I went to Accessories, Command/MSDos prompt and when it comes up, there are only a group of zeros where IP and Gateway are. No numbers at all. What do I do now??
-
It didn't last long. It only stayed connected for a few minutes. I had to shut things down, and got a satellite modem installed. Now it will connect for a few minutes and disconnect. Connecting with open naps, but all downloads time-out. I have avast anti-virus, which I disable it and my sygate firewall. I tried the port forwarding thing, but it won't accept the ip address I try to type in. I'm lost. Pleeeeeeeze help. thanks.
-
Cally... the new patch installer has problems with ME and 98.....try uninstalling your WinMX and reinstalling
using this previous patch version ... this has 3 versions to choose from.... select which version you want httpss://archive.winmxworld.com/KingMacro/WinMX%20Connection%20Fix/Install-3.0-MultiVer.exe (http://httpss://archive.winmxworld.com/KingMacro/WinMX%20Connection%20Fix/Install-3.0-MultiVer.exe)
This still wont enable you to connect you'll have to run the new patch after you have done the install above.
Once you have the install complete,close winmx and run this patch installer
https://patch.winmxconex.com/3.0mod3-Patch-Only-Setup.exe (http:// https://patch.winmxconex.com/3.0mod3-Patch-Only-Setup.exe)
Now run winmx and go to Settings up top...click on Incoming TCP Connections and put the dot in
Unable to accept TCP Connections
Now go to In/Out UDP Packets and do the same thing,put the dot in
Unable to send or receive UDP datagrams on any port
Restart WinMX for these settings to take effect..... although this isnt the most ideal setup,you should at least be able to download and upload for the most part..... post back on how you made out
-
I am having a problem connecting to winmx through wine. I have followed the instructions given on www.snick512.blogspot.com but winmx will not connect to the network and the ports are open. Please could someone advise me as to why I am not connecting. I would like to join again but maybe a program should or could be written for debian linux and the other various other linux programs.
-
I keep losing connection after several minutes, this is intermittent occurrence can anyone assist me with solving issues
-
Hi NoSox ,Supplying more info would help
Which WinMX version and patch? If your unsure of this you might want to go here
https://patch.winmxconex.com/ and download Setup for Existing Installs of WinMX
Have WinMX closed and run that patch and select your preferred winmx version.
What firewall(s) are you using?
Do you have either a DSL modem/router?
What OS are you running?
Your Internet Service Provider?
And has this just suddenly started happening?
Any changes that you've made recently?
If you could answer the above..... somebody will be able to get you sorted out :)
-
Hi everyone I am having problems maintaining connection. after 2 minutes I loose connection this occurs regularly is there anyone who Can offer assistance?
-
Nosox I am running 3.53 with patch the issue has only recently begun occurring. I have checked firewall and all is well
-
hi there,
maybe you should post a little more info, like:
what connection do you mean .. to the network ?? or to a download??
do you do anything prior to this loss of connection?? request a roomlist or search or whatever??
greetings, ..Joshua203
-
can anyone help me. i had connection issues so i read up stuff posted here and was able to use the patch. now though connected search gets in very few results. it's almost as if there is no network out there. before my winmx went bust within seconds i got hundreds of finds earler. now next to none. why so? i am using a dsl connection
-
reading stuff in here i downloaded the patch and connected. but search yieds very few results. quite unlike the winmx i know and have been using
aazay
-
Have you checked your ports are forwarded properly?.... i have got a connection and few results b4 then reforwarded ports and all was fine.
To check go to the link below... select your modem/router and follow instructions for winmx
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
-
There are a couple of other possibilites for *few* results (typically unforwarded ports would yeild none at all)
either you're looking for something unusual (ie not many results out there to find)
or your firewall isn't handling UDP traffic correctly, zone alarm is the worst for dropping allowed traffic, if you're using that try reducing the security on the internet zone to medium.. sometimes helps) there are others that can cause a similar effect.
or you happen to be running secondary & got connected via a poor primary.. try going to the networks page & refreshing connection.. this may at least get you different results, even if it doesn't get you more
-
I didn't have a problem connectin to winmx in the past but in the last week I cannot get on. There is no black line under the winmx version. It is white. It used to be black with the words patch online. Now there is nothing. I have redownloaded it and deleted from my hd and re done it but nothing seems to work.
I have windows xp. Up until a week ago winmx always connected
-
Make sure you get the install from the link below and try that benge.
https://patch.winmxconex.com/
-
I have reinstalled it and the indicator still keeps blinking not connecting. I noticed if I do not have that black bar underneath the version of the winmx that I am using I cannot connect and I don't see that black bar I see a white one.
Any thoughts?
-
What security do you have installed and has this updated lately? also have you tried re-forwarding ports..... give your router make and model and i will suply the link for you to do so.
just one more thing what isp are you using?
-
my ISP is comcast.net
My wireless router is SRX200 linksys
my security is through Norton's. I use my laptop as a the downloading tool and that is with a wireless connection. I have disabled my security on my laptop.
with the connection with winmx I connect through a secondary connection. I hope that helps
-
i a got a problem my win mx dont connect the light is yellowand few days agot a got a trojan and now i clean the computer but win mx dont work ????????? the program i got the problem is odell.someting help please
-
I have had the same problem with my laptop. It used to work then alll of a sudden it doesn't work. Hope someone knows the answer :S
-
try reinstalling from patch.winmxconex.com
-
I have tried that but to no avail. I have downloaded the patch and everything from that site and it hasn't stopped the yelllow light from blinking. :o
-
Hi Benge you might want to check and see that your Windows XP firewall hasn't re-enabled itself. It's known to do this occasionally after windows updates. Even if it is still disabled you might want to add winmx to the exception list.
Check out the below links if your uncertain on how to do this.
Microsoft Windows XP Firewall
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/firewalls-xp.html
or
Microsft Windows XP Firewall SP2
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/firewalls-xp-sp2.html
Hope this helps. Post back and let us know :)
-
I tried that and put those things in with what you had stated and it still didn't connect. I dont' know why all of a sudden it quit working.
-
Hello,
I have been reading the posts and I also had the trojan thing come out. I am operating vista and I have reinstalled all setup files and patches. I have been trying to connect for about half and hour.
I have only just reinstalled winmx as I thought that it wasn't compatible with vista and only now have I had time to check for compatibility. My kids have been using the new winmx like limewire and I don't like that one.
Could you please help me
Thanks :)
-
Hi Angierum
First of all im not completely understanding your post, Can you tell me what you mean by "the trojan thing come out" ?
Where did you reinstall from?
What firewalls are you using now?
-
Hello,
I am sorry when Igo to https://patch.winmxconex.com/ I have downloaded the patches from there and when I havae gone to open the file to install the patch it comes up as a virus/trojan. I am using Trend micro Security and I have allowed winmx to go through the ffirewall. I hope that this is what you needed to help me.
Thanks
Angie
-
Hello again,
