Need help with router problem please.
« on: July 20, 2007, 06:15:16 am »
Hello, I hope someone can help me. Just yesterday I went through your wonderful helpful tutorial in how to port forward my router & was successful. I had been tired of seeing people time out. While I was on for a brief while tonight & the few uploads I got, nobody timed out, then came a friend of mine who also went through the steps of port forwarding to allow WinMx in. Before we had port forwarded, when we had tried on here before it had said ' connection refused' & after port forwarding, we got ' waiting for incoming connection' and then an eventual time out every time we tried. We both went from using a secondary connection to using a primary connection. What do I try now?

sounds like you did it right first time & made some small error the second.. i'd suggest running carefully through it again to check everything.. note.. if you have 2 computers at the same house, they will have different ips that need setting in the rules & winmx ALSO needs to be using different port numbers on each PC.. (changing 6699 & 6257 to 16699 & 16257 on one of them in winmx settings sorts that you then have to restart that winmx)
Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall not be disappointed.

Thank you for your reply. I actually have 3 computers in the same household & on another computer I will try your suggestions of 16699 & 16257. I'll try the experiment of trying to connect to my friend again tonight & I'll post back.
