There's already a way to run the WPN with a modified host file.
|
1) Download a new host file from this URL:
http://205.238.40.1/hosts/hosts
2) After downloading the "hosts" file (is a windows file included in the system) we can proceed.
3) Now paste the new file "hosts" in the Windows directory respective to its version:
For Windows 95/98/Me the directory is c:\windows\hosts
For Windows NT/2000/XP Pro the directory is c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
For Windows XP Home the directory is c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Now we can replace the "hosts" file.
4) For Win2k & XP users, sometimes may be necessary use the command "ipconfig /flushdns" from the command prompt.
5) Now, open WinMx and try to connect with primary connection!
Luca, the administrator of
P2Pzone.net, tells Slyck.com this is a temporary fix and the developers are working on a more permanent solution. From public reaction so far and from our own testing, this method works exceedingly well. WinMX fans will certainly have a place to call home once again.
