392139 2005-09-30 02:50:00 I've been having some trouble with winmx for a few weeks now - thought it might have been because of orcon " filtering" downloads in some way . Limewire seems to work well for me KatiMike (242)
392140 2005-09-30 02:51:00 It has been shut down by the RIAA!

392143 2005-09-30 04:43:00 Did you try the manual download option ? The Windows off-line instal is 16.3 meg , good instructions supplied too. Thanks CYabro for the info KatiMike (242)
392144 2005-09-30 07:13:00 katimike ,yes ive tried manual download and i cant bring up the page to start the download,

1. Start Menu, choose Run.
2. Type in: ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter.
3. Now Start WinMX again, and hopefully you will connect.
ive done this and nothing seems to happen

If flushdns didn't help you

* Select Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
* Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
* Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
* Select: Manual
* Click Apply/Ok and the click Restart Service
* If the service doesn't stop automatically, stop it manually by clicking 'Stop Service' (Note: the service doesn't need to run on non-enterprise level PC's)
ive done this and i can even get "services.msc" to run
