Since you have been posting here before, its the best question to ask if you still have the other computer online as well? because two computers with the same winmx ports on one connection won't work. So answer that question first if you don.t mind. If its the case then go into the setting of winmx of your new pc and change the incoming tcp from 6699 to 6698 and outgoing udp from 6257 to 6256. Make sure if you have a router that the ports we just set are forwarded as well, and make sure an eevntual firewall (even the one in xp sp2) is et to accept trafic on this ports. I have the feeling thats thoe problem and the solution to your problem.

Well Rat I know its unlike me to pass on this but by the time I got to making a list of things to check it looked like ADI,s guide so I thought I might as well save time .
The point s that I wanted Krb to read where the firewall setup and router links , and failing that to try another trick which is to make a new folder in program files and reload a fresh version of Mx and use that to check if the old setup is corrupt.

And now the penny has dropped ...
The top of the tutorial says from an idea by Rat but the bottom says different :oops:
Sorry Rat old friend , I just browsed over it and red stood out better than green :shock:, Seems we got both guys to thank for helping us out here .

Don't worry about it. I'm only teasing. Actually, Adi's version is better in my opinion. :)

I have changed TCP & UDP ports a couple of times and uploads are still timing out. I don't have a router our fire wall. Have deleted WinMX a couple of times and reinstalled it the problem still there. Not sure how to put files into another folder. My system is running windows Me, P3@1gig. I can do a search for something and see my name in the search for songs I already have in my library on that person, what's that about. It lets some people upload most 56k then some cable or DSL so it's not blocking everything out but most still time out. One day all of asudden it started uploading right and then went back to same thing.

With regard to the name problem see this thread to fix that Krb

http://forums.cricketmx.com/viewtopic.php?t=425

To make a new file in program file go into My Computer and look down the listing for your primary drive ( usually C: ) , and go to the Program Files folder , then select a clear space and right click to obtain a list from which you select New - then Folder , then you can right click on that folder to Rename it to something like "winmx2"

Also if your a secondary connection user you can install KMs patch as this seems to help keep things more stable

http://www.kingmacro.net/?section=get&file=olepro32.dll

The patch must be unzipped and extracted into the new folder you created to work.

Sorry for the delay In replying Krb I have a funny sleep pattern, hope some of this helps :)

OK Krb time for us to get serious as this seems something that requires more detailed attention.
What operating system are you using , and whats the name of your internet supplier , also do you have any security products and if so what are the names , what type of connection do you have (56k/ dsl) , and are you using primary or secondary connection ?

In general for the symptoms you describe , the problem is tcp ports not working correctly, so thats why we started off with the firewall /router sections.
