I think I'm having a common problem here...

Lately, and I don't know what changed, I rarely have anyone trying to upload files. Those that do time out. I'm also very seldom able to successfully download anything. I'm using Cox, cable modem, a router to a laptop, and Vista. I've downloaded the patch.

Hi Davehal

Have you ever tried to forward your ports on your modem? Also could you allow winmx through all your firewalls.

davehal9000 · « **Reply #2 on:** January 19, 2009, 11:02:10 pm »

I've not tried forwarding the ports. I THINK I have the firewalls taken care of. I went through the Windows firewall setup and I'm pretty sure I've got that right.

Any info on forwarding the ports? I've been to the port forward (?) website, but what I see keeps referring to routers.

Ok davehal9000 what is the model and the model number of the modem/router?

davehal9000 · « **Reply #4 on:** January 20, 2009, 01:49:46 am »

The modem is a Cisco/Linksys BEFCMU10. Since the router is only supporting a separate laptop, it it an issue? It's a Netgear WGR614 v 9.

Thanks in advance!

No both of these modems/routers can be forwarded I have given you the pages. You can have as many connections as you want to connect to winmx and have the ports forwarded. I have given you the pages for both of them.

Thats for the Linksy: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/BEFCMUH4/WinMX.htm

Thats for the netgear: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/WGR614v9/WinMX.htm

Please post with any problems or if you do not understand something.

I'm figuring it out slowly. Thanks for the help so far.

Typing in the IP address for the Linksys modem I get a page that bears no resemblance to this one

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/BEFCMUH4/WinMX.htm

Mine is the BEFCMU10.

From memory that series is almost the same. Have a go if not i will find another page.

To get your internal ip you will need to do this:

You can find out what a machines internal IP is by doing the following:
Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Command/MSDos prompt.
In the black DOS box type in ipconfig for getting the ip of one machine.
Type ipconfig /all to get the Gateway and Internal IP of the machine.

Please keep posting back with any questions
