Ok I checked that the firewall should allow me the use of WinMX, but for some reason it still has a problem finding a connection. What should I do?

Is this XP's firewall? You need to make sure that you're allowing the correct TCP and UDP ports for WinMX to get through. I think that information is available within Win MX. Check the support.Microsoft.com site for information about XP SP2, it probably has the relevant port information you're looking for. If it's Zone Alarm, it should just be as easy as telling it that service should allow inbound and outbound connections.

Thank you. Yeah it is the Windows Firewall. I'll be checking that port stuff out.

If you are like I am and are lacking in the "technical skills" department, but at the same time, miss using WinMX, there is a quick, easy and free solution it is called MXPIE. There is no spyware or anything else bundled with it. For those a little more savvy and courageous, there is even a manual option.

So come on back to WinMX, and download to your hearts content. Thanks to these updates, not even the power of the RIAA can stop a network.

IF you have downloaded WinMX and still cannot connect, you can even get personalized realtime help. Just go to this link WinMX Channels Copy the Room name appropriate for your Language and paste it into your WinMX chat screen, then press the Join Button. This works on version 3.53 and up even if you are not connected. It allows you to join into chatrooms set up for you to get immediate help.

Everything you need at the MXPIE Website Free and Spyware free.

I have also found a site for Computer problem that is nice, prompt and VERY helpful. If there is a problem you need an answer to, they can help.

Realtime help available for WinMX 3.53 users having trouble getting connected. Go to WinMX Channels.
