ive upgrade to windows vista Preminum and winmx works but u cant download or upload anything user firewalled  it says is any way to get round it as iam a winmx chat room  and it no fair

[SamSeeSam]

For everyone with vista and problems:

1.> Close winmx.

2.> Go to your winmx folder and delete a file called OLEDLG.DLL.

3.> Now download the file on this link:
https://forum.winmxworld.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4360.0;attach=1400
and put it in the folder in which the winmx.exe file is there

4.> If some connections problems occur, remove the firewall rules of winmx and re add them.

5.> Restart winmx and try connections on primary and secondary.

Cheers

Hi madmav,

Sam maybe a bit premature in asking you to get the Vista Patch.  The problem your reporting at this time wont be fixed by that. 

It sounds like you actualy have either some software firewall or the Windows Firewall blocking the connection.  WinMX will report that if your ports are not set properly in the settings so check those as well.

To be honest Im not 100% sure where to locate the Vista Firewal, more then likely its in the Control Panel and you should see an icon.  Make sure you have WinMX on the list of exceptions and the ports added that your WinMX is using.  TCP 6699 and UDP 6257 are defaults.  Or disable this firewall if you usually have another one in use.

Then go to WinMX settings > Incoming TCP and make sure this is set to 6699 and then In/Out UDP and set that to 6257.

Then let us know how your doing.

I have upgraded to win Vista Priemium and I can not figure out how to fix it so people can download from me.  I have intalled the patch and I have the ports set in my firewall. I can download fine but people can't upload from me. Times out every time. I have verified that the ports are the same for WinMX and the firewall. I have removed them and redone them more times than I can count. Any help would be great.

it sounds like there may be a router involved, in which you need to forward ports, often theses are built in to modems, see if it's listed here http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm if so, click on the listing & then on the next page on winmx, that should bring up comprehensive instructions.
