kiki,

in case you don't know this already - you need to use a patched winmx since the original owners shut down their servers.
If you haven't done so already I recommend installing a fresh version from www.winmxgroup.com
If you still can't connect even after installing that we do indeed need some further information as to any router/modem/firewall/antivirus you're using so we can help you figure it out.

I'm not familliar with the AOL firewall, but as a check try with firewalls off, then you'll at least have found out where to look, if you're running the AOL one the xp one can be safely turned off.. or if you prefer the other way around

HI. IM HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM!!! HAVE YOU FOUND A WAY AROUND IT?

KM · « **Reply #9 on:** October 07, 2006, 01:58:23 pm »

which one?
joining a room you host see above
winmx not connecting, make sure the patch is installed properly (should say patch operational and should have a splash screen on startup), if not then reinstall from www.winmxgroup.com
