can anyone please tell me why everyone trying to upload from me keeps timing out?
i have changed my incoming/UDP setting to a number of different setting and back again but nothing happens.
i have disabled my fire wall.

you need 2 know if you are running through a router and if you are the router port numbers anf the winmx port numbers need 2 match ( 6699 TCP and 6257 UDP) if they dont work add a 1 to the start of each..giving you 16699 TCP and 16257 UDP
if that still does'nt work and you are using XP check if the XP firewall if turned off as winmx and XP do not combine well

Depending on which router you are using, it will be quite simple to set up. If you have the manual or find it online there should be a section on Port Forwarding or something similar. The way to tell is if it has the option to change TCP and UDP. Please get that info to us ASAP and we will get you fixed up.
