I am sharing almost 5,000 files and I have been trying to connect with WinMx all day and am about ready to give up, I haven't had this kind of a problem since WinMx went offline for awhile, I have a primary connection so that I can share over 3,000 files, I have a DSL modem and I also have ZoneAlarm which I even turned off trying to connect and that didn't help either, I am not a computer whiz so I would help to try and solve this problem. Thanks for any help you can give me, Gary
