    Map Ports For WinMx and a Wireless Router
    Does anyone know how I can map ports needed for WinMx to work on my Win XP machine that is connected to a D-Link wireless router and then a cable modem?
    All other apps work OK (IE6-etc) but when setting up WinMX (music sharing program) the setup tells me that it cannot set up TCP ports like 6699 and UDP (or whatever is default for a usual setting) and that I need to map ports for WinMx to work better. It works slowly in the "Search" mode and that is what the "help" tells me it will do if I cannot map ports.
    I am now lost-- there is a manual config box but I do not know what to enter it.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks! Mike

    Map Ports For WinMx and a Wireless Router
    Not enough info.

    1) Can you look at your D-Link router and at least post a model number?

    2) Did your ISP install the Router?

    3) Can you directly access the Router's configuration (do you have the access password?) If so, PLEASE do not post it, I just need to know if you can re-configure your router. You will have to be able to if you want to pass any ports through.

    The router wasn't installed by my ISP and yes I do have access via the password to re-configure the router. Thanks for any help you can offer.

    WinMX is back, help is available here
    If you are like I am and are lacking in the "technical skills" department, but at the same time, miss using WinMX, there is a quick, easy and free solution it is called MXPIE. There is no spyware or anything else bundled with it. For those a little more savvy and courageous, there is even a manual option.

    So come on back to WinMX, and download to your hearts content. Thanks to these updates, not even the power of the RIAA can stop a network.

    IF you have downloaded WinMX and still cannot connect, you can even get personalized realtime help. Just go to this link WinMX Channels Copy the Room name appropriate for your Language and paste it into your WinMX chat screen, then press the Join Button. This works on version 3.53 and up even if you are not connected. It allows you to join into chatrooms set up for you to get immediate help.

    Everything you need at the MXPIE Website Free and Spyware free.

    I have also found a site for Computer problem that is nice, prompt and VERY helpful. If there is a problem you need an answer to, they can help.

    Realtime help available for WinMX 3.53 users having trouble getting connected. Go to WinMX Channels.
