I was able to successfully set up a private network with Phex. However, each time, I have to manually connect to a peer to connect to the network. If i do a Network->Connect, it connects to the gnutella network.

How do I prevent Phex from connecting to the Gnutella network at all? I want it to connect only to my private network. Is this possible?

Normally, it should connect you to the private network, but I'm just checking, if we had a bug sneaking in...

Strange... for me the entwork name stays, so I still connect to the private network after closing and restarting Phex.

Do you close it by clicking on the door in the upper left corner (which makes it save its config)?

Do other settings stay over restart as you set them?

Do any of the GNet-Hosts connect successfully?

If all of them are just red and don't get greeen/connect, the reason is this:
Phex has an internal default list of hosts to try.
If the normal list gets emptied, it tries the default list.
Naturally the default list contains none of your private hosts, so you need to reconnect.

This problem _should_ disappear as soon as your private network grows larger (and Phex always finds someone from it online).

Please tell us, how it goes!
