Hi,
Looking for help on how to mak a primary connection.
It asks me for TCP and UDP information. What is this and how do I find it?
Hope somebody can help.
Thanks, Will.

If you have a router, go to www.portforward.com/routers.htm and see your router model there.
A tutorial on how to forward ports in winmx will be given there.

Default ports are:
TCP 6699
and
UDP 6257

After you have done that, go to winmx>settings>Incoming TCp> and select the listen to ... port ... blah blah.
Put the port number of your TCP port there.
Do the same thing for winmx>Settings>UDP conenctions and select the option and enter your port number there.

Cheers

Can you connect via secondary alright?
You need to reboot the router after you have forwarded the ports.

will,

that sounds to me as if your ports still are not open.
For the bt home hub Me_Here made a tutorial here, please make sure everything is set up according to that.

Also I don't know about the version of norton you're using, but take a look here and see if it matches what you have.

Personal messages are rather unreliable.
See about 4-5 of them todifferent people and see if it goes through.
The errors for the same also usuually comes up when it fails

Cheers
