Since I would like to write an application that exchanges files using phex, I would like to set up my local network to test it first, i.e. I want that

1. phex connects to specific hosts in my network
2. phex does not look for further peers on the internet, even if it is connected to the internet

I do not understand exactly why I need to change the source code, shouldn't it be sufficient to change the hosts file?

Anyway, I will look at instructions in the forum before I proceed.

Thanks for the feedback.
