The patch worked for me. Although I thought at first my anti- everything programs I have running in XP had torpedoed WinMX during most of the day I finally found out what was going on just an hour or so ago. Found the patch copied it to the WinMX folder and started the program. Was discouraged that the connecting light was blinking for what seemed like eternity then looked through the forum here and read that it might take a few minutes. Oh, ok so then I click over to WinMX minimized, bring it up and Waalaa, there it is, all connected and ready to go.
I wish to thank you for your hard efforts and courage in the face of the evil empire you are engaged against. Cheers!!

*giggles*

Not at all Gnarly :twisted:

Glad to hear you back with us Gray,

Cold Zero, if your using WinMX on a ME/98 system, my suggestion is to ditch the patch, and use your hosts file to connect, KM is working very hard at acomplishing the impossible.

As some of you may or may not know, ME/98 can be a bugger at listening to .dll files, as Bender and Nushi found out with thier Bendmx and RCMS...

Hey all,

I am having some problems with the new patch, can anyone help?

I'm running WinXP pro, the file is in my WinMX folder... WinMX loads, and as soon as it has connected and checked all the files, it crashes.

I can post the feedout from the error report if you think it will be any help?

I need alot of help and don't know where to go......i'm not a comp. wiz but can hold my own (sometimes). I am trying to get win mx back up, I downloaded a patch file, tried to open and install it but kept coming up with an error message that it can't be installed....i'm pretty sure I followed all of the 'instructions' correctly. Right now i'm so very confused...can someone please try ,in very simple terms, to explain to me what to do and how to do it ? I'm running XP pro and don't know what winmx version I have cause i'm not the one that downloaded the original version on my computer.

Which 'patch' file?

try this:

If you downloaded the DLL file, you don't 'install' it, just move it or save it into your winmx working directory

p666james · « **Reply #48 on:** October 07, 2005, 07:10:18 pm »

hey "me here",

I have tried a complete re-install of WinMX, and re-downloading the file....

...And no luck.

Any ideas?... I can post the error log that WindowXP is trying to send off

tedious1 · « **Reply #49 on:** October 07, 2005, 07:50:44 pm »

vladd44 is the download that I used....it showed up as PIEpatch2.3...that is what I was trying to install.....if by .dll file do you mean the ws2_32? I downloaded that also....I'm not sure if I did everything as I was supposed to since i'm still not up and running.....by the way, what is meant by a "few" minutes on loading time? 5 or less? 10 or more? Would any of the security(ie. spyware, firewall,etc.) be causing a problem?

Not being at home i installed winmx on a PC running on Windows 98 SE and opened a primary connection and had about 12 secondary users in a short time. no connection problems so far. that was yesterday. this morning i deceided to make some mp3 files shared and this resulted in about 30 or 40 uploads with good speed (cable connection) It may be a co incident but after i dhad send a message to a known user who was downloading from me and i clicked away his autorespond. i got the wellknown message "an error occured" and winmx was closed. I restarted and there seemed to be no problem, but after a while i noticed that all uploads were timing out; i did not make any download attemps till that moment, just thought it was a good idea to have a primary connection on the network. i decided to look for some files i was waiting to download at home but the 3 files i could finfdare constantly waiting for an incoming connection and get timed out as well. I am back on line now for about an hour and this is what i see: WinMX v 3.53 <Online P=5 S=0 spm=16013
I have Peerguardian running as well.
10 days ago i had problems with WinMX crashing after half a minute and got it running with the Vladd pie option. (that was before I read of his attemps to "take over") At home i use 3.53 beta 4 on Windows XP/SP2.
Can someone tell me what's; i have no need to download anything, just wanted to have a primary connection ïn the air" but has that any use when S=0 and this seems to stay that way??

Me Here · « **Reply #51 on:** October 21, 2005, 02:36:46 am »

Its true that the primary connection is not helping to support network traffic properly if your S=0.

This is usually due to somthing blocking a TCP port. This can be a firewall or even Norton Anti Virus 2005. The fact that it was fine then stoped working is curious.

Make sure that in the settings in WinMX that your Incoming TCP is set to listen on port...............
And that your IN/OUT UDP is set to send and recieve on port..................

Make sure also that its being allowed in your firewall or anti virus.

The other thing that may happen is setting changes in the router, sounds strange but I assure you from personal experiences, routers especially some brands seem almost 'haunted' at times..

Be sure to check any forwarding rules you have made in them are correct, including the Internal IP of the machine your using for WinMX.

About the crashing, Just to be clear.. Have you updated to the Install 1.9 from the WinMX Group page ?

indefile · « **Reply #52 on:** October 21, 2005, 07:34:01 am »

what i did before i read your kind answer is remove peerguardian.
as soon as i had done that, things got back to normal and S=12 for hours.
i did reinstall peerguardian and no problems this time. the install 1.9 I used was from the day before yesterday.
never had any problem with winmx but for the last weeks.
i hope fixes ,patches and pies will be joined to one solution so that winmx will run like i am used to. slowly i see users coming back. it won't be long before everything is back to normal I'm shure.
hope there will be even a new beta one day

Me Here · « **Reply #53 on:** October 21, 2005, 07:57:11 am »

Ok keep me informed if there is anything you need then or if this problem comes up again..

p666james · « **Reply #54 on:** October 23, 2005, 11:02:46 am »

Hi "me here" sorry for the length of time its taken me to reply.

I was not using the 1.9 Install from the WinMX group, but I have just tried that now, and once again it has crashed the program.

WinMX loads, goes green is updating the library... and then it crashes..

Version of WinMX used is v3.54 Beta 4, being run on Win XP SP2.

Hey P666James

I have a few folks that have continued to have troubles, but usually following these steps have solved the problem. Give these a try and let me know if you have troubles or questions about them ..

Hi,

I have tried the guide you posted, and no luck. I did have a play about after it had crashed, and I think it is crashing because my PC already has the dll file on the system... So I changed the name of w2_32.dll to w2_32a.dll and it loaded WinMX fine, but then lost the ability to connect.

Me Here · « **Reply #57 on:** October 23, 2005, 04:53:05 pm »

You will have two on your system once the patch is installed...
The one from the Install 1.9 wont work if its renamed..

Ok if you completed all those steps and still cant connect without crashing then please download and install this hosts file from here:

This is an updated hosts file that will install on your XP fine.

https://www.winmxworld.com/files/hosts_file_xp-2k.exe

You will need to perform the dns flush again
Start > Run type 'cmd' click OK
Then in the dos box type 'ipconfig /flushdns'
Then hit enter

Now restart WinMX...

Once you have this I would love for you to visit us in our Live Chat to see if I can find out what caused your problem if thats possible.

Just go to the Chat on WinMX.. Say 'yes' I am not easily offended... then copy and paste this into the Filter bar

Click the Join button on the far right side of Filter bar.

Let me know how this works for ya...

I made a personal version of the Patch by KM, with less functions but a bit faster. The source code is included for those who want to change the way it works.

download here (bin + ASM code)
http://xoomer.virgilio.it/lastanzadidaniela/mx%20patch.zip

Anyway i keep using the PIE Patch

GhostShip · « **Reply #59 on:** October 25, 2005, 12:59:28 pm »

Asm code is not source code String, this just seems to show you hacked up the dll rather that rebuilt it.

I noticed the you had placed the pie team caches first on your list, hardly improving anything for the users as these are the ones overloaded.
Winmxgroup have been asked to remove the 205 servers from all of the lists as they cannot handle the traffic so perhaps you may wish to also.

Removing functions from a winsock dll is more likely to result in instability of the system so I would not recommend this fix to anyone.
I suspect String knows this and thats why he chooses not to use it himself.

A great winsock dll source can be found in the last BendMx Src (3.99a3).
Bender spent a little while writing the functions out
