There seems to be a bug in Phex 2.+ when trying to change from the Gnutella Network, to a private network. The Network Switch dialog will just stay focused after pressing "OK" and the only way to make it go away, is to press "Cancel".

Now, the next time I try to run Phex, it generates this error a few moments after the splash-screen appears:

I guess I was almost sleeping when I was last time doing code changes there.
It should work again with the next build.

Thanks for reporting!
