May there be one flaw to connecting as a secondary,,, you being dropped by the primary you go through? Or does this branch out once the connection is made?

Running as a secondary you're connected via 'a' primary, if that primary is unstalbe (unprotected) then yes you will get dropped like a hot potatoe, for WinMX Group patch users of 3.x the connection is with other proteced patched primaries 99% of the time. Your always going to have disconnections but this does help stablize things better.

Hope this clears that up for you sst75tss, if not maybe I misunderstood your ?

Being dropped does not actually affect pretty much anything. I've never lost rooms nor uploads or downloads because of that.
It isn't all that 'bad' and to me certainly does not seem like a disadvantage

Sam says any transfers or in que will remain connected?

Me Here · « **Reply #6 on:** October 27, 2006, 07:11:45 am »

'Sam says' uploads and downloads which are direct links to the souce or end souce PC will remain, queues can somtimes be effected by disconnection yes.

when i try to make a primary connection to the network it tells me that i cannot beacuse of no tcp port for incoming connnections and no udp port for incoming and outgoing packets. is there anything i can do about this?

SamSeeSam · « **Reply #8 on:** December 22, 2006, 07:28:54 pm »

You need to forward ports for your router (if you have one)
Go to www.portforward.com and see your router model there and you will find a tutorial on how to forward ports there.
Defaults are:
TCP 6699
and
UDP 6257

Then go to settings> TCP incoming> and select listen to option
Go to settings> UDP In/Out > and select the listen to option.
And you should be done

I am having problems connecting. I just got a new computer running vista. It appears that the program has downloaded but never connects? I may have made a mistake setting my connection type but that box does not come up anymore and I don;t know how to re set it? Can you help me. I am running 1.5 DSL through a NETGEAR router. I never had any problems with my old computer running XP.

Hi Oakfarm,

Have a look at this post about a test patch for Vista users.

I cannot connect at all. I was connecting but was unable to download so like an idiot (I think) I ran setup again. Although I am no worse off then before. I have had this problem in the past but cannot remember how to fix it. Please help. I am on DSL with basic Windows service pack 2 firewall. XP.

Me Here · « **Reply #12 on:** April 16, 2007, 10:47:26 pm »

First make sure in WinMX Settings > Outgoing TCP that it is ticked 'Do Not Use A Proxy Server, Connect Directly'

Next remove WinMX from the XP firewall rules then restart it and add it again.

Let us know

SamSeeSam · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2007, 05:54:52 pm »

This is a clear indication of ISP inteference...
Your ISP blocks the connection in peak hours.......
Best you see how secondary performs in that period...

Cheers

I have upgraded to vista and a dsl modem running on a network port can u help me plz

Joshua203 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 30, 2007, 08:09:16 am »

hi barend

think no one really knows what your problem is at the moment since that was not explained in your message

i guess you just need the vista patch in that case read this topic carefully and if any problem remains after that explain what problem please

greetings
