Okay Doc,
Let me clarify a few things here for myself, bare with me...
Your WinMX wont connect, meaning that on the networks page it always is yellow and says at the top of the page <Connecting...> or <P=Searching..> correct?
I know this sounds a bit forward but if you have msn could you pm me on the site here and I can get you my addy, I am sure we can get this fixed but its often hard to do on a board like this, adn real time is usually better help..
