would love to help been trying to connect for three days now .got a stable cable connection but am at a loss for more ideas on how to connect.gotten the new host files and replaced the old ones flushed the dns ,what else is there?

Download the Patch from the front page and try it instead.

Maybe you will have better luck.. this is a .dll file not a hosts file.
It goes inside you winmx folder in program files.

Then flush the dns again and restart.. and wait.. should connect within couple of seconds on primary...

i'd love to do primary, just got a dsl, but winmx will not allow me to connect as primary. says:

"you cannot make a primary connection to the winmx peer network for the following reasons:

-outgoing tcp connections use proxy server

i tried modifying my settings, outgoing>>no proxy server and now get:

could not open a tcp/ip port for litening. (winmx is now in passive firewalled mode.)

even though my firewall software is set to accept all traffic from winmx.

any ideas??

ps. i've used winmx for many, many years, and have loved it. happy to help in the hour of need. talk about corporate domination of the internet!!!

I'll be your primary..... 5MB cable up in Houston.

However, an automated msg on one of the OpenNap servers keeps telling me that I have port 6699 shown as open, but is unconnectable. I setup WinMX, and my hardware (Linksys)/software (ZoneAlarm) firewalls to allow TCP 6699 and UDP 6257. Can't understand the problem, but people keep timing out on me. Suggestions?

Me Here · « **Reply #9 on:** October 04, 2005, 11:37:08 pm »

Humm.. sounds like you have covered the usual suspects as far as port blocking..

Is anyone able to get through.. IF you do get the occational uploader to get through I suggest changing ports to high numbers.. such as TCP 61000 and UDP 58000 and try it..

If no one is getting in, make sure your XP firewall is off and double check your internal IP has not changed on the Linksys..

Let me know...

It's working... obviously my port trigger setup was wrong or broken, but peer net uploads are ok.

I wouldn't trust the SP2 internal firewall with my life. M$ has a history of fumbling when it comes to security.

JerseySteve · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2005, 12:21:51 am »

Ok...Put in patch, have proper host file...reconfigured firewall..Winmx reading P=5 S=0 spm=10822....but I still can't search, up or download...and no chat rooms come up.... If I switch to secondary everything works......

XP, WinMx v3.53, Norton Firewall...Ports 6699 & 6257 (Tried other ports 80, 120 & 445, 1032 ...could not make connection)

haven't tried to open my room yet....waiting to get everything correct

any help appreciated...

How does one "flush the DNS?"

Me Here · « **Reply #13 on:** October 05, 2005, 01:02:26 am »

Jersey it has to be a dsl modem or router issue I think..

Do you have one of these ?

AmishCake:
Start > Run type 'cmd' then..
In the dos box type 'ipconfig /flushdns' then hit enter ..

AmishCake · « **Reply #14 on:** October 05, 2005, 01:24:26 am »

OK...I've done the DNS flush and successfully connected as a Primary (I didn't before the crash only because of laziness).

I notice that people who are trying to download from me are timing out. I'm running WinXP SP1, configured my router & firewall for ports 8888 and 9999 as instructed by D-Link. I'm able to download at a pretty good rate, so just wondered if you had any more advice on allowing uploads.

I didn't restart after flushing the DNS; is that a requirement?

Thanks and glad to see WinMX back online.

JerseySteve · « **Reply #15 on:** October 05, 2005, 01:34:05 am »

Thanks Me Here....No Modem, Cable hook up....
No Router Either.....
any thing else???

I can't get primary to work...I'm on a belkin router and I have pointed both tcp 6699 and udp 6257 in the router to the IP of the downloading computer...I would love to be a primary, but the system won't let me...help!!!!!

JerseySteve · « **Reply #17 on:** October 05, 2005, 03:52:36 am »

Thanks For All the Help.....your website pionted me to a problem with my Norton System Works.....and since they wouldn't let me reinstall w/o paying a fee I switched to the free McAfee programs that comcast cable offered.....Now I'm up & running like I actually know what I'm doing ..LOL

Thanks again....Keep the music alive...

AmishCake · « **Reply #18 on:** October 05, 2005, 12:45:08 pm »

I restarted WinMX and as soon as someone started downloading from me, I got a BSoD with this:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I didn't copy anything else from that screen but has anyone else run into this problem?

Me Here · « **Reply #19 on:** October 05, 2005, 01:01:37 pm »

YAY Jersey.. glad to hear your upto normal now..

fabinc
Be sure the rules in the router are 2 seperate ones for the udp and tcp,

Also what firewall are you using.?

Amish

I found this forum where they handle this particular Error, here is the link.. you may have to register to post. This is a computer issue and not a WinMX related problem ..
