If you can at least get it to start, hit F1 for the help section or why not re-install it .I would guess it has something to do with changing ISP`S.

Hi there,

Thanks for the advice - I have re-installed it several times, to no avail...I have also heard from several other people on Optimum Online that any of their file sharing programs are becoming defunct...Any ideas? thanks!

Hi franca...yes, have tried it to no avail! I think it is something to do with optimum online itself....i wonder if anyone else has had this problem? And if so if there are any other ports we could try to connect with? Cheers!

Hi, got the last few months I have had a problem with winmx at first everthinh was great, then, all of a sudden everyone timed out when trying to upload from me then a few weeks later I couldnt get any downloads. I to have Opti online and I do think it is a problem with them. Now, I cant even connect to winmx the yellow light flashes and nothing connects. I tried reinstalling and nothing is working. I have the same problem with Kaaza now I only get maybe 1 out of twenty songs I try to download. I really thing Opti online is playing around with us

Ukbri -

I am also new here. I had WinMX working fine until some time ago. Thinking it was just a network outage, I stopped going logging into winmx for a while. Now nothing works....I also tried Kazaa and nothing. I really think optimum online is blocking its usage.

Problem with Optimum Online uploading winmx,etc
I live in New Jersey.
All my uploads within Winmx get "timeout" or "connection reset by peer"
(no firewall, no router, settings are correct)


I've called several times to complain, but the say they are not filtering, or capping transfers.
I'm going to keep calling
I guess I might have to go back to DSL.


Temporary WorkAround:
Try a 56k modem connection.

Try port 608 for TCP and UDP.
These port use to work for me, but then all of a sudden uploads started failing again.
Downloads work great.
