If you are on a router you will need to set up port forwarding to allow UDP traffic. Check the user manual for your router on how to do this. If you are using a firewall you will have to allow it also usually by making a rule.

standard ports for winmx are as follows

6699 TCP
6257 UDP

if they dont work a good trick is to just add a 1 to the start of both

16699 TCP
16257 UDP

try them... but you must make sure that the ports in winmx match the ports in your router.

good luck
