Just go to here :

https://www.winmxgroup.com/Install-1.9.exe

This will install the correct MX for your operating system along with a patch for WiMX..

Ty Nobby,
Yes portforward.com is my fav router one stop shop...

Couple things to remember are

Its not necessary to set a static IP
And the instructions for WinMX only show how to set a TCP port..
WinMX MUST have a UDP forwarded also.. just follow the same intructions for it

WinMX........6257 to 6257.........UDP <internal IP> ....... enable..

easy..

done all on port forward up until box came up for user and pass for router put default in admin and 1234 and pressed ok and page came up saying, this object on the rom server is protected, what now any clues cause i'm lacking in them

There are a few very common password combonations set by default.

User: admin
Password: admin

User: admin
Password:

Try those, also some ISPs Verizon included sets your user name and password to the account details that you use to logon to the Net.

Try those also..

I have met one ISP that actually locks their customers out of the adsl router and will not allow them access to forward ports..

Hope your not in Wisconson....

i'll try them and let you know, i'm english but living in spain, and get net through telefonica, ain't got no manual for router, as got a shifty deal on it, with the technician, as ya do,
cheers fingers crossed it works or i'm stuck with bloody limewire,

No your not stuck with Limewire at all.

If you cant forward ports then go to setting in WinMX look for Incoming TCP and change that to 'Unable to recieve'
Now look for IN/OUT UDP and do the same there

Now restart your WinMX in secondary.. this will allow you to share your files with almost everyone you wish..
