Please check your firewall.

Does Phex have a little wall icon at the lower left corner of the window?

Yes I have a fireall displayed and I am unable to get rid of it. Any help would be much appreciated.

You need to let Phex through your firewall and forward it on your router.

If this sounds like mystical mumbo jumbo, please don't hesitate saying so.

As a start, this thread has some info to open a port: probles with my conection

Hi, I can´t connect Phex to network.

I´m on Windows Vista, my router is ZyXEL and I cannot open a Phex port in router´s firewall. Can you help me?

Thanx in advance.

Which port number did you try to open?

To find the Port number you need, just go to the network-panel. There on the left side below the list of connections you can see your IP and port (the port is the number after the colon (":").

Ok, is something like:

My address: 127.0.0.1:35018

Exactly.

"35018" is the port you need to open.

Phex chooses a random port on first run, so you can't just be blocked by blocking all connections to one single port (and so people can't just check if you have Phex running by connecting to your IP with a single wellknown port).

Ok, in the windows firewall the port is open, but my problem is the router, I can´t open the port in it. I don´t know to do it in ZyXEL modem/router

Hmm, not yet....

I will review all steps later with more time.

your computer is most likley not connected to the network, i also have windows vista and when my music doesnt load its most likely because im not connected to the network
