I have reconnected with the new patch but when i go off and return i have to reinstall the patch what do i need to do to keep the patch on permanently?

can we have more details? what windows version? are you running in an administrator account or something more restricted?
exactly what does or doesn't happen, does winmx setup run over & over? you just don't connect? you revert to a hosts file??

Help! When I try to run the new patch my antivirus software alerts me that it contains a trojan. What can I do to get WinMx up and running again?

Its not a trojan but because the patch makes changes to the host file your security see`s this as a threat and alearts you to this
i have experienced much the same thing before,all you need to do is turn off your antivirus while the patch is applied and all will be fine (once applied turn back on)

for the latest patch released on july 9 /2007 go to the link here and d/load

I have a broadband router behind my network..! I try to connect to WinMX with the default 6257 & 6699 port, but it is not working..! Why..?

bughunter · « **Reply #6 on:** July 11, 2007, 02:17:18 pm »

if your trying to connect as a primary you will need to forward the ports thru the router.........
if your connecting as a secondry the router makes no difference, but any firewalls you have will need to have the approiate access rules for winmx...........
www.portforward.com is were you go to get the instructions for your router, if this is to technical for you then please visit us here WinMXWorld.com Help_6444D04ABABE and we will help you with portforwarding all we will need is the make and model number of your router

Something is amiss? Make sure you backup any modified HOSTS file before running a patch!

I have a very large HOSTS file and I use a localhost address of 0.0.0.0 (a valid address) - I do not use 127.0.0.1 which the patch designers seem to think is the only legitimate localhost.

When I attempt to install the patch (mod 2 or 3) it seems to "freeze" - the green installation bar stops and nothing happens, the HOSTS file is frozen at first I assumed that it had hung up. It seems to me that it is attempting to rewrite the large hosts file and gets lost for at least 40 minutes? If you forciblly stop the installation the HOSTS file is garbled and you will need to recreate it, all it needs to append ONE line (at the very end) but instead it adds an additional line "127.0.0.1" winmxworld between EVERY entry.

My suggestion if you have a custom Hosts file is firstly, back it up, secondly, create a dummy, allow the installer to modify the dummy and then delete the dummy. Append the line 74.208.068.100 to your backup file and then restore the backup.

The entry is 74.208.68.100 not 74.208.068.100

I'll get it right yet the entry required is

winmxworld.com 74.208.68.100

Bearded Blunder · « **Reply #12 on:** July 12, 2007, 05:56:01 am »

the installer actually doesn't append that line, only the comment, what it does do is remove entries relating to emergency hosts files which would mess things up, please accept my apology for messing up your particular & very unusual configuration...

I downloaded the patch to my received file folder and installed it no problem. My hosts file looks like it should

# Do NOT alter the following entry, it is critical for proper operation
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
# The following line (if present) was added by the patch to load the update notification bar message
# If there is no entry here performance will not be affected,
# but you will not see notifications of patch updates
74.208.68.100 www.winmx.com

However when I run WinMX I still get the warning message up on top saying a new patch is available to install. Did I do something wrong or is this just a glitch? My WinMX does connect, it's just the update warning that keeps scrolling back and forth.

I had down loaded all kinds of patchs. I still cant open the file or use it to open WinMX. A DLL file need a soft ware to be running. I couldnt find that soft ware. instructions sends me to windows search but i couldnt select right program to run DLL file. can any body help???!!!

GhostShip · « **Reply #15 on:** July 12, 2007, 10:58:32 pm »

David the programs from the connection page are self installer's, just let the one you select do the required work and then mx will start as normal without you having to do more than agree to a few choices.

Sometimes we all look too deep into the simplest of things

I have a roomie having this same problem.... got her to manually add 74.208.68.100 www.winmx.com to her hosts file...that didnt help.... got her to do ipconfig /flushdns..... didnt work....got her to uninstall and do a fresh install of the latest 3.54 with patch included...checked hosts file again and it was as it should be... still had the same update message....had her disable firewall/antivirus/spyware progs/ upon yet another fresh install. still update message.... any ideas?

Hi Reef, we just recently moved the old update bar to a new address, so I'll investigate this happening soon as possible.

Cool.... thx Me Here

Ok after extensive diagnostics to see 'what the hell had i broken this time'... it turns out that I have NOT broken anything

Ok not with the update bar anyway..

IF you have updated to the new patch and are still geting the bouncing annoying (its annoying on purpose) Update bar please try the following:

Open Internet Explorer
Click on Tools > Internet Options
Under Temporary Internet Files > please click the Delete files button
Restart Your WinMX

See it turns out Bill Gates broke the update bar ...muahahahhahaha
