For M$ ME try the PIEPatch v2.6.

PIEPatch2.6 Automatic Installer

PIEPatch 2.6-manual install

For instructions on installing the PIE patch look here.

Also for 98/ME you can try the hosts file fix from winmxworld
hosts_file_for_me_98.

download

This Self Installing and updated Hosts file includes all Peer Cache servers for faster connection times.
Again, this is a self installing file, simply double click and allow to install.

Once you have finished the installation then restart WinMX, remember that the hosts files are not as speedy or efficient as the WS2_32.dll, so be patient.

It will not overwrite your existing Hosts file, it will create a backup copy and replace it if you decide to uninstall later.

hi there, i have installed the primaryhosts patch and it has worked great for me for weeks now.. i am running XP... all of a sudden today, i am getting only the yellow light... no more green! Can u tell me why this is?.. i have no firewall blocking... is there another patch i could try maybe?

Hi Dutchess, i installed the new files and it was working beautifully this morning, but when I tried to open it later this afternoon, all I got was the yellow light, and it's still that way. I checked with a friend in another part of the country and she can't get on either. Could it be the whole system's down?

Me Here · « **Reply #8 on:** October 10, 2005, 04:30:05 am »

It is not the whole system ,.. there is a problem with the .dll file at present that some ppl are having .. not all.. but many

For now the best thing to do is to move the ws2_32.dll to a seperate folder of its own and install this hosts file...

https://www.winmxworld.com/files/winmxworld_hosts.zip

Put that into your C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder and do a dns flush

Start > Run.. type 'cmd' then ok
Then in the dos box type 'ipconfig /flushdns' then restart mx ..

Me Here · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2005, 07:17:54 am »

We are asking folks to install the newest version of WinMX..

Its 3.54 beta 4 ..

to install it you need only replace you the unziped WinMX.exe from our Archive with the WinMX.exe from your WinMX folder in program files and restart..

httpss://archive.winmxworld.com/WinMX/Beta/winmx354beta4.zip

That belongs in your C\Program Files\WinMX folder..

then restart WinMX...

jabberwockey · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2005, 07:18:55 am »

Reformat and install Linux...

No joy

Can't do the dns flush as you instructed. On my system, anything entered in the box must have a file extension. When I type cmd, is says it doesn't recognize it. I don't understand why it was working fine yesterday morning, then crashed.

Me Here · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2005, 07:54:34 am »

the dns flush is for xp users only..

What operating system are you on?

Just Country · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2005, 09:57:07 am »

I started by downloading the new patch, since then I was shutdown down and was told there was an error. I redid it all and then I couldn't get onto my primary connection. So I thought I would uninstall winmx and now I can't even install it back. I need back in. I miss WINMX. Somebody, somewhere must have all the answers.......I would be most grateful! Sally.

texasrose · « **Reply #17 on:** October 10, 2005, 12:03:57 pm »

OK, I decided to uninstall and start over with 354 beta 4. Trying to set up and it's giving me the following message:

"WinMX was unable to make an outgoing connection to its test servers. This could be because this computer isn't currently directly connected to the internet, you are on a Local Area Network (LAN) and need to use a SOCKS proxy server to make outgoing TCP connections, or there is a temporary network problem."

I have a 56k modem, I'm not on a LAN, so...is there a temporary network problem?

Thanks,
k

I'd recommend to see vlad44 post regarding changing the winMx port setting to
(1.) Accept incoming tcp connections [accept on 16699] &
(2.) Accept / Send UDP packets on port 16257

[[ this in addition to having the latest patch and moving the dll to a seperate folder ]]

My ports were configured to not accept any connections prior to changing them. Unfortunately I can't configure to be a primary server however since changing the port setting as described, my network connection is now stronger than its been in 2 or 3 years.

Prior to that my max que was 50 to 60 users waiting and alot of timeouts... NOW I can easily have 100 in no time [[ and thats with no porn files. ]] ...... I made these changes a week or so ago but so far all is well.

THANK YOU to everyone involved for all the time and effort getting WinMx back online.
