Thanks Larry (Schizoid Man). SM is a friend of mine and he walked me
through the patch process. It didn't work at first, but I'm now
connected to WinMx again. There is a God! Gracias Amigo!

The funny thing is when the .exe install prompts you to select the operating system (XP, 98, 2000) we had to select 2000 even though you're running XP. I'm running XP as well but for some reason it worked OK for me (I didn't have to select 2000). And also, it wouldn't load using Firefox. Had to switch to IE and disable all firewalls. Rock on with your nasty self!

Alternatively, have an easier and more communal time of it and download Soulseek!

I'll have to try it out. Who knows how long the patch will work? WinMX is in a state of transition...kind of like when Gabriel left Genesis...or, when Bruford left Crimso. |

Did they ever fix WinMX so that you can use it with a router, or do you still get BSOD?

No blue screen of death. It runs through my router fine. I had to manually open up a couple of ports and enable UDP packet transfers. There is (was?) a FAQ run-through that went over everything.

Learn how to use your router- unless of course you are trying to connect through your office router - in which case, learn how to bribe your admin. |

I love this quote from the newsgroup link above:
Quote: Sept 20th at 12:00 somewhere time WinMX had to shut down... on Sept 23rd at 12:00 somewhere time Winmx users said f**k that and reopened it.... |
