You need to open these ports in your router.
TCP port 6699 and UDP port 6257
If you have XP firewall running, you'll need to set a rule for those ports also.
Running XP, 1.3 GHz, 768 RAM. I'm using BB through a cable modem, Windows SP2, and am hooked through a Linksys firewalled router (cabled, not wireless).
I've used WinMx before, but since all the changes of added firewall equipment, it no longer connects. I uninstalled, then reinstalled, using the secondary connection. It, at first, made a connection. I exited the program, tried it the next day, and it cannot find a connection. I've waited 20 minutes or more.
How can I get this connection to work? Can I adjust anything in the router? I did some searching on winmx in the forum, and found some information, but not enough for a novice to go any further.
Your help, please, would be much appreciated.
