hi All, new here. need help connecting to winmx. I am using windows xp, cable mode, running primary winmx 3.54 beta with patch is operational and currently blocking flooders and all it won't connect (flashing yellow) any suggestions? thanks

do you have a firewall running on your computer? if so which one? check to sure it is not blocking winmx (they will normally ask the first time they detected winmx running... if you accidentally clicked block it then you'll need to unblock it)

no firewall

the only time you should have a problem like that would be if you were at work and they had set up proxies etc and prevented direct access, i am assuming the problems connecting are at home? (i'm also assuming that the 2 different usernames are the same user)

go to start > run and type in command then click OK, that should then bring up the command prompt ("command" instead of "cmd" if using windows 98/ME)

then type in "telnet germany.winmxgroup.com 7950" and hit enter, it should come up with a load of "rubbish" along the lines of :

(the exact "rubbish" that comes up will be different though)

let me know what happens...

it says could not open connection to host on port 23 connect failed

KM · « **Reply #5 on:** April 10, 2006, 04:13:57 pm »

did you put the 7950 on the end?

Jeremy, did you actually deactivate the firewall that comes with xp?
It might be enabled by default without you ever noticing cause it's set to allow normal browsing, email etc...

Jeremy · « **Reply #7 on:** April 11, 2006, 07:26:36 pm »

yeah i put 7950 on the end and it still says it could not connect to hoston port 23 connect failed

KM · « **Reply #8 on:** April 12, 2006, 12:48:23 pm »

what version of internet explorer are you running?

Jeremy · « **Reply #11 on:** April 26, 2006, 07:15:14 pm »

aol ie version 6

Bearded Blunder · « **Reply #12 on:** April 26, 2006, 08:40:31 pm »

check the status & setting of the XP firewall guideance here : https://www.winmxworld.com/tutorials/firewall.html
also if you have Norton AV 2005 or later check winmx is allowed in internet worm protection & finally check the possibility that some AOL security thing isn't interfereing.. AOL like to load your system with all kinds of crud you don't need.

Jeremy · « **Reply #13 on:** April 30, 2006, 07:31:48 pm »

ok i tried that and it's still crashing

Jeremy · « **Reply #14 on:** May 02, 2006, 06:22:00 pm »

update. ok, so i deleted the ws_32 dll and it doesn't seem to crashing any more but the bandwidth is crazy. after starting winmx bandwidth is high and then slows way down, every now and then it spikes back up but then goes back down. any thoughts?

Mabye your ISP is blocking Winmx......

roy.agates · « **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2006, 10:27:45 am »

Hi. I've had winmx running but yesterday it stopped connecting to the program and now i can't get it to reconnect and i haven't changed anything on the prgram. Also it won't connect primary keeps saying it can't find settings and I have a bt voyager 205 adsl router how can I make it connect on a primary connection.

===> To Roy

Could you tell the exact wording of the error? Anyway, I think that it may be a problem with your static ip. Do a dns flush and tell ua what has happened : Here's how to flush

Go to Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt

Type : ipconfig/flushdns

and hit enter.

====> To Jermey

Does it happen to downloads? Do you get uploads or search results? Are you able to download?
Does that affect any downloads or ulpoads or any queues you are in?
