Author Topic: Trouble with ports (Read 1276 times)

Hi

I've installed WinMX 3.54 b4, Comodo Firewall 2.3.6.81 and my conecction is WiFi to a router to my cable provider.

WinMX connects ok to the network but says that the ports are closed, so I made the following changes:

- Comodo allows WinMX make any connection, it has freedom to TCP and UDP.
- Router have "port forwarding" to the ports:
- from 6699 to 6699, both UDP/TCP
- from 6257 to 6257, both UDP/TCP

WinMX says:
- "Unable to send or receive UDP datagrams on any port"
- "Unable to accept incoming TCP connections"

In practice, WinMX connects to the network, I can search, I can try download but I cannot upload, and I cannot download really.

Is this correct to my connection? I'm forgetting anything?

Thanks in advance.

Paco.

Sorry...

CORRECT: I'm downloading and uploading correctly... why WinMX tell the error messages?

I'm sorry for the mistake in my previous post

Thanks.

Paco.

HI Pacoj

First of all be sure you WinMX says Patch Operational at the top under you WinMX version, if not then be sure to install a patch that will protect you and the network from here:
https://www.winmxgroup.com/

When this is finished then open your WinMX Settings > Incoming TCP and set that to port 6699
Then open In/Out UDP and set this to 6257

If you can, please correct the router Protocol settings as below
- Router have "port forwarding" to the ports:
- from 6699 to 6699, both TCP only
- from 6257 to 6257, both UDP only

If there is not an option for specifying the Protocol then just make sure you have two seperate rules for each.

Give this a shot then let us know..you should be able to get a primary after this
