Cynic,
I suggest you take a look at my post called "Make WinMX connect: find
your patch, fix, info.". It should provide you with all the answers,
partly through some links.
Note: Two of the websites mentioned in that post are currently down.
Therefor the ".dll" solution is no longer valid for it needs the
winmxgroup website in order to function correctly.
Good luck,
