I wish to thank you all. I have been searching for a way to reconnect to WinMX since it went off last year. I never knew about this forum. But I was searching for something else and ran across this forum a couple of days ago.
I am so excited. I followed this thread and found the answers I needed and I am now connected to winMX using the 3.53 version with the directions for the patch.
Again thank you all for your questions and your answers.
Respectfully
Blue
