hi all, i realised tonight i haden't reinstalled winMX after my last reformat, so i just have and have a problem. everything looks okay, i can search etc etc. but i don't appear to be able to download, and people can't upload from me. i get a message saying "connecting to network" or similar and i get no further. i've tried unloading sygate firewall with no joy. the default incoming tcp connection for winMX is port 6699 and the outgoing one is 6257. how do i check these are open to use? and if this isn't the problem, any further suggestions? i'm using winXP and it's win MX 3.31 i've installed.
