I have just downloaded Phex and can run, but I cannot get any connections; thereby not usable. I have opened and closed the application multiple times. Here are my env details:


Problem: Connections: 0

• Phex version 3.4.2 (Build: 156)
• java version "1.7.0_04" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_04-b21)
• Mac OSX version 10.7.4 Processor 1.7 Ghz Intel Core i5
• Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
• 127.0.0.1:1:27122
• Sophos anti virus (runs only when invoked manually)
• I have tried opening the phex gui multiple times, tries to connect to many ips, but always times out
• 40 GB free space on my computer
• broadband
• ISP provider: Kiwilink
• living in New Zealand
• Netgear Router DGND3700
• modem/router setup: are you port forwarding:YES
• UPnP enabled:YES
• Firewalls: NO
• I have shared some files: in a directory located under Shared Files

Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.

Go to:

Gnutella Hosts

There you can copy some hosts (Addresses) and add them manually to your favourites (Network tab) and then try to connect them.
Once you're connected you can delete these hosts from your favourites.

Normally Phex will connect to the network automaticly, but if your Phex need any help, this maybe works...

Thanks, since this is the first time, I needed to contact a known host ip. Now I have 4 connections!
