i have tryed to put the new host file in my c:\widows\system\drivers\etc. like it say but i still cannt get winmx back up and runing help 
Hi Dab,
To get winmx working i presume you have downloaded the patch and already put in the specified folder . What i need you to do is get into msdos. This is how do get there:
Start button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
OR
Start > Run > enter in box : command prompt
This is what i need you to type i the command prompt is:
ipconfig /flushdns
then restart winmx and it should connect
but give it time to connect
