Susandiane,

I don't know which "fix" you're actually talking about, but just don't
bother with it anymore. Just replace a file that sits (depending on
your OS) in your Windows directory or a couple of subdirectories down.
That file goes by the name "hosts" and can be used (when replaced or
edited correctly) to help WinMX connect to the new peer cache servers.
I suggest you dl a patch that comes with an installer (latest
revision!) to automate the backup and replacement of that "hosts" file
for you:

PS: No need to unplug your pc when hitting the reset button will do ;-)

Good luck,
