Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Shares not being shared

New and 1st install Phex 0.9.5.67, JRE 1.4.2_01

Two computers on LAN, both Win XP Pro connecting through NAT router with port forwarding set to route incoming traffic on the port designated in Phex/Settings/Options/Network to the respective client.

Two problems on both computers:

- Contents of directories specified as shared in Phex/Settings/Options/Directories are not being listed as shared in Phex/Share. Confirmed by connecting the two workstations in Phex - search for a very specific file found no hits even though it exists on the connected server. One PC has only one file in shared directories, other PC has hundreds, yet no files show in either copy of Phex.

- No problem searching and downloading files, but all Gnutella Net connections show as OUT - well maybe I speak too soon, now there's one IN. Still, it doesn't appear my system is being found. While my primary concern is FINDING files, I also want to be SHARING.

Suggestions on things I may have set wrong? Things I could check? Could this be a Java 1.4 thing?

Have you checked your "share" window to see if you see any search count numbers ?

No, the page is blank - no files listed at all, no uploads ever started (let alone completed)... Again, same on both PC's it's installed on.

Hmmm,
Just a stupid question, but dit you hit apply after choosing your shared directories ?

Anyway, from personal experience, the only times I had strange things going on with phex was when I upgraded without uninstalling previous versions.
Perhaps you could do a fresh install, and make shure you delete the phex folder under documents and settings before you do.

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

Yes, added and removed directories several times, hit apply every time (or most of the time anyhow).

I'll try wiping it and reinstalling, but since I'm having the same exact problem on two different XP installations, I'm thinking it's more likely has to do with running Java 1.4.2_01 (build b06). I recall seeing something about being stable on 1.3 but 1.4 not entirely tested.

Can I make 1.3 available to Phex but leave 1.4 as the JRE for other apps? If so, what would I need to do to accomplish that?

I have no problems, running Java j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p-iftw under Win 2K.
Phex 0.9.5.54.

Can you look if you have anything in your phex.error.log

Java 1.4 should be fine to use. Actually there is a bug that Phex only works with Java 1.4 and not with 1.3.

Better dont try to install multiple JRE versions if you are not experienced with Java. It sometimes cause strange version conflicts on Windows.

Error log from one of the computers is attached. It's very busy, something serious appears to be wrong due to a "severe" global exception at every startup. Hopefully the contents will be more helpful to someone with a better understanding of the workings of Phex than I...

Hello Bob,
be sure to put an asterisk (*) into Phex/Settings/Options/Directories/Include Files and not into .../Exclude Files.

Thanks, Helge, that was it! I had Include "*.mp3, *.wav"

So I presume this means one can include/exclude entire directories, but at this time not specific file types?

Is work being done on a man or faq for Phex? With this small exception the installations were simple and painless, and it appears to work very well. I'd be willing to work on either (English) if the information were available to me.
