Hi,

your problem is probably that WinMX listens on those ports - and checks if these ports are available from the internet. Because your Brother's PC is directly connected to the Internet, on his PC these ports are accessable from the outside (if no fw blocks them). If i understand right you connect through his PC using the Windows Internet Sharing which is a NAT Router. So WinMX on you PC opens these ports but they are not accessable from the internet because you are behind the NAT Router (your Brother's PC).

Bye, Egon

yes that is correct, i don't know how to find out what ports are blocked or not blocked.

is there a program that would tell me witch one's aren't blocked?

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.
