WinMX Problem Fixed
Ahhh, here we go. Here's the fix for the problem I described below, should any of you run into it. It's probably your firewall -- no, you weren't dumb enough to leave it on. Check your control panel. Access the Firewall. It may say it can't open due to an unspecified problem. That's a dead giveaway. Even if it opens, try this anyway. You need to install a reg file called "sharedaccess.reg".
After you merge it into your registry, reboot the computer. After reboot, go to the Start Menu->Run. Type "netsh firewall reset", without the quotes. Wait for it to finish. Then go back to the Firewall control panel and turn it off.
Should work now!

Just passing by, but this post makes me shiver: if a program requires me to do this kind of stuff and open up my PC like this, it's not getting into my 'puter, to peer or not to peer.
Seriously, applying semi-random changes to the registry? From a file found on the internet? and furthermore it requires your firewall to be disabled? Sheesh, hell no.
Or maybe I read it wrong. I hope so.
