What does this mean? My winMX connects but I get no responses to my file searches (Firewall is open)????

Do you have a router or dsl modem?

Often those are the culprit for blocking ports that would make searches not work.
Also some antivirus can also block this, for example Norton 2005 Worm protection.

If you have a router or dsl modem you need to open the ports WinMx uses, you can find the information to get you started here:

https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/routers_info.html

Dont forget to check your XP firewall also, this one is often forgotten when using a software one, and its also famous for enabling itself.
If you need information configuring this look here:
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/firewall.html

For Norton Worm Protection read through this:
https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/norton_2005.html

Once this is all done you should be able to connect as primary and get good search results. If this still fails you can always make a 'Passive Secondary' connection by going into WinMx Settings > Internet Connection > Incoming TCP ..set this to Unable. Then set In/Out UDP.. set to Unable.. then restart your WinMx in Secondary mode.

The message: Currently Blocking Flooders to Protect The Network means just that. Your doing your part to protect this Network from the RIAA by using the patch that blocks them for you..

my "blocking" message is gone. Now I see "Click the back button to try another link" Is there any worry here. I have not done any changes to WM, although I did crash a few time in the last few days, and I saw a dll removed message in my MXM log.

Is this a concern?

Sometimes the url for the message fails to load, as long as everything else works it's no concern & the message will most likely return next time you start WinMX.

The entry in your MXM log I'd need more details on to even speculate about.

I'm Having Similar Probs. Appears To be Random. Sometimes Loads With
Message Sometimes Without, But A Restart Seems To Fix It. It Have Only
Noticed It in The Last Couple Of Weeks. Everything Else Seems OK.
