Phex over a LAN ?
 

Hello,

Phex 3.2.6-106 works great with the Gnutella network. Now, I am trying to use Phex over a LAN.

I have created a network called LanGroup with the usual settings (Force to be an ultrapeer...). The connections panel shows My Address: 127.0.0.1:299967 and not the IP address of the ethernet interface. When I try to connect to a peer, I get "Error.Disconnected from remote host...".

Any idea ?

Please check this thread:

It has the current (simple) solution for getting Phex to work properly in a LAN.

The problem is the firewall detection algorithm - Phex sees the private (LAN) address but didn't ever connect to a non-private address so it thinks itself firewalled and a private address in another network would be unreachable.

Thanks a lot ! It works.

Happy sharing!
