i really hope you're trying to say that MXmonitor scanning is different than WinMX browsing, because that will further illustrate that you have no idea what you're talking about.
the only interaction that MXmonitor has with the WinMX network is by controlling WinMX. if WinMX's browse works, then MXmonitor's scan does. the opposite is also true.
please continue trying to make me look bad. it makes you look worse than i ever could.
Now, back on topic, how do you guys out there with a clue feel about making browse host optional?
