I think to be safe I would go back through things and just double check them

First making sure the rules you had set up in the router are still there and for the correct Internal IP address. Next I would remove WinMX from the allowed rules in the windows firewall stuff and then restart it..

Normally not being able to connect is down to a firewall issue not the router..

Connection help:

I have tried every suggestion I could find in the forum. It comes to screeching halt
trying to make outgoing tcp connection. I tried bypassing but it never connects.
At one point It did make the outgoing tcp connection and everything was cool. But the next time I tried to log on I never connected.
OS: win xp sp2
Firewall: Windows
ISP: Bellsouth, DSL, Ethernet, speed 100mbps
Modem: Westell 6100

Any suggestions up to and including wrist slitting would be greatly appreciated.

hi hun.. no wrist slitting will be needed.. lol but i would like a bit more information from you

I'd like to know what you mean but connecting when you say:

trying to make outgoing tcp connection. I tried bypassing but it never connects.

Do you mean transfers dont connect or do you mean the flashing yellow light happens?

Id also like to know what you have done with the XP firewall and modem with ports too hun.

Bascially what I need to know is what you mean by not connecting?
And what you have done so far to try to fix that?

OK, a little history. I have been using WINMX for a couple of years (on a really sucky dial up) and never had any problems other than turtle like speed. Had a system crash in June 07 (Bad mem stick) tried to load winmx again but no go.
a couple of weeks ago I found Winmx forum, and I thought SALVATION. Finally got DSl a week ago. what blows what's left of my mind is the fact that last Thurs I was able load winmx and actually use it. Closed the prog for the night . When I tried to start up Fri got the infamous yel blinker.
Durig set up right after specify connection type the prog tries to connect its test servers. This is where it fails to make outgoing tcp connection. If I manuall config (no proxy server, no incoming tcp, no udp packets) it goes to the "I'm forever blinking yellow mode"
I never get a prompt from xp firewall to allow winmx. Tried turning off firewall, also disabled all sryware/adware programs. Tried the fush dns thing.
I dunno, will taking hostages help??????

Ahhh the infamous westell 6100, same modem I have. If you have the latest winmx and patch most likely you need to forward ports through your modem. Start by choosing winmx ports in winmx settings. Add these ports to windows firewall and also add them to your modem by following these instructions http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Westell/Westell6100/WinMX.htm.
Good Luck

Thanks for the tip. I am currently not at home but I'll definitely take a shot at it when I get home. What concerns me is the fact that the symptoms appear to be the same on two different entities a dial up modem and the dsl modem. I am beginning to suspect that the problem is a rare electronical phenomenom caused by internal bamboozlement!!!!!!!

Hi Srts41

I would like to add here. Make sure you have the right patch as well. To get the patches go here:

https://patch.winmxconex.com/

Please post back and let us know how you go.

srts41 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 02, 2007, 12:45:35 am »

Yes, that is the patch I'm using. (3.0mod3-3.54) What is really frustrating is that
I loaded WINMX on my daughters puter today and it worked flawlessly. I suspect my problem is internal to my machine because it never hits the firewall when I am
loading the program. Is this a logical asssumption?? I am praying that some magical
guru will come to the aid of a mental midget!!!!

srts41 · « **Reply #30 on:** October 02, 2007, 12:49:45 am »

P.S.
I tried loading using dial up again today. WINMX used to work with this modem,
Same result, nada zip , zilch.

Hi srts41

I would check what programs are running on your daughters pc and than chekc yours. As it could be an internal program that you might be using on yours.

Post back and let us know.

perhaps get your daughter to copy her working winmx folder send to you and try running it on your pc also are you running diffrent firewalls/security ? as certain ones you can beat half to death with a big stick but they still wont let winmx work........ as silicon said try compaire progs to see what you have running as opposed to your daughter & let us no any that might be causing a conflict so we can perhaps advise if this may be causing a problem for you.... some items such as torrent clients have caused problems for me in the past.

]2aven (R.I.P.) · « **Reply #33 on:** October 02, 2007, 12:49:00 pm »

Sounds like you have a firewall / antivirus program blocking winmx. Try doing a clean install of winmx (delete the program folder and all settings of winmx). What are you using for an antivirus / firewall program? Is your daughters pc on the same network? You did not mention that your using a router. The westell 6100 modem has it's own firewall. I had to add ports to mine in order to use any filesharing / gaming software.

Hi Guys And gals,
I think I finally solved my problem. Winmx was running when my system
crashed with a memory problem. It must have trashed something deep inside the operating system. I reloaded XP this evening and connected to winmx just like in the old days. Thanks to everyone in here who offered suggestions.
After trying all those known fixes, I knew it had to be something in my system.
