Long Time User, New WinMX Problem
« on: December 06, 2006, 08:11:29 pm »
I'd appreciate some help, please. I have used WinMX for a few years, and recently had a serious PC problem and had to do a system restore on my computer. I was able to recover most of my music, but had to download and re-install WinMX, which I have done.

I have 2 questions, please:

1) I have never been able to make a primary connection, but have been able to make secondary connections, and successfully share music. I am told with an error message that I "have no TCP port for incoming connections" and that I have "no UDP port for incoming and outgoing packets". I would appreciate any insight as to how I can correct this.

2) In the past, I have clicked on the OpenNap Protocol Networks tab, and have been able to then see many of the available networks available for connection. I now click on the OpenNap tab, and have no available networks. Can someone please advise me as to how to fix this?

Thank you for your help.

Hi Ed,

Welcome to the site. 

For your first question.  WinMX during install will attempt to make TCP and UDP connections as a test.  These can fail for a few reasons.

That message basically and truly just means that you have no port options set in Settings > Incoming TCP & In/Out UDP.  All you have to do is go to those settings and tick the top option.  This alone will fix those messages you get but does NOT ensure you will have a working Primary.  By working I mean uploads, downloads, Searches and Chat List.   
I would go to those, set them correctly.  Restart my winmx and see if the above mentioned functions work.  If they do then thats it, your done. 
Most users find tho they are behind either a router or a NAT capable DSL modem.  If this is the case more work needs to be done then above. If this is the case for you post back with your router or modem details and we can assist you, or have a look here for more info.

Also you would need to give WinMX access in any firewalls and even some antivirus.. again if you still have problems post back with more info.

For your second question, you have to have loaded some .wsx files.  These are the files that store that server information for OpenNap and if yours are lost as it sounds, finding new ones is very easy.  In the Archive link above here there are hundreds listed, many with multiple server info on them.
Here is access to a more recent one:
https://www.winmxworld.com/files/   Scroll down to the file named 'working_opennap.wsx', right click and choose save as..    then just Import that in the OpenNap screen.

I think that should cover your questions and if not please feel free to ask away.
