[WinMX] winmx connection time outs

[dasha]

Hi everyone,

i have started getting time outs on all my uploads ! I'm behind firewall (at least i think i am cos i'm connected from dormatory) and i have tryed changing my ports, tryed trojan remover and some other port sniffing programs but came with no results I'm kind a lost right now about al that time outs com just a couple days abo everything was working just fine both dl and ul. I had set my tcp and udp port to "unable to accept/recive..." setting and it worked till last couple of days.
So i hope that my problem have a solution cos my roommate have winmx to and he has the same settings as i and he can dl an ul without any problems!

Help!

Thx,
dasha

Do you know if the college you're at are blocking common file sharing ports? Try changing them to something else, and tell us what happens

Maybe uncommon ones like 8000 and 7000, because they may be blocking 16699 and 16257 as well.

If you are connected through a router you need to ensure that the ports you are using for winmx are forwarded through your router. You will have to go into the admin of your router and it should have a section for port forwarding. Enable the ports you use for winmx. What router is it by the way? Also depending on the firewall you will need to open the ports in that as well. Considering you are in a dorm and most universities frown upon p2p, they may be blocking ports. If you and your roomate are on the same router you may need to have your ports different from his, I'm not sure on this but it may help. Good luck.

Unfortunately no. I have no idea to get around University Networks. I wish I could help you on this but that is beyond my area of expertise. Have you tried the WinMX Community Forum. There are a few people there that know quite a bit about networks that might be able to help.

Battye, I am not trying to take away from your forum by referencing WC but I think that might be a better place for him/her to seek out him/her problem.

The problem was solved last night

Dasha said he didn't know what he did to fix it though, uploads just started working again out of the blue

Much the same way they stopped I spose
