I have winmx 3.54 with all the patches on a secondary connection. I can stay connected until I start a download and then I am dropped or get the "connection reset by peer" reply. How do I fix this...

Does this happen all the time?
or sometimes, or to a select few users?

Cheers

It happens continually. I have recently uninstalled and then reinstalled winmx to no avail.

have you got a router or is your firewall allowing full access for WinMX ?
the firewall might be sencitive enough to block downloads, like internet explorer blocks pop-up links when you try to download from some saftware sites.

Which patch do you use?
What version of winmx are you using?
Which firewalls do you have?

You can also come to the winmx world chatroom and find help there. :

I downloaded from the winmx group page... winmx 3.54 with patch. I have satellite but I'm not sure if this is a router or not. I checked my firewall which is microsoft xp and winmx as well as UPnP framework are allowed exceptions. I do not however have specific ports for winmx. I have been unsuccessful in finding matiching ports. I also have symantic anti virus. I can stay connected until I attempt to download and then I am kicked off. Any suggestions?

there's a fair chance satellite gear will be acting as a router, there's also a HIGH chance that any satellite isp will be interfering with winmx traffic (and any other p2p program) i would suggest a visit to the help room.. we can at least determine if your modem is also a router & see you through getting a correctly configured setup, unfortunately with a satellite isp, this won't guarantee a fully working winmx.. it's a case of trying & seeing.
