The problem of uploads timing out in winmx is also seen by people who's computer is behind internet connection sharing or a NAT router.

The proper way to sort it out is to configure port forwarding in the device that is doing the connection sharing.
This will also result in faster downloads on average.

It may be easier to chance the winmx options to tell it that your computer cannot receive incoming TCP or UDP connection. You will only be able to upload to client that can receive incoming connections.

Winmx does a reasonable job of deteting if it can receive connections when first installed but dosn't check every time it is run.
