The first time I used Phex it worked fine with no problems, but the second time and afterwards it won't connect. On the connections page I get lots of red attempts but then it says either connection was blocked or timed out. The little globe has nothing in front of it, so I assume it's not my firewll. It seems that Phex is unable to find my IP as it always shows the 127.etc. address. What should I do to correct this? Do I need a static IP? Currently my IP changes every time I connect.

Could you try quitting and restarting Phex? (It works sometimes - then the list of hosts was just out of date).

Phex gets its IP from answering hosts, so, that it stays at 127.0.0.1 means, that Phex wasn't able to find any active host.

Arne Bab, anyone, how do I post a question? I open the different forums and don't see where to click to submit a question. This may be the wrong place, but I don't see any other to post.

Just go to http://www.gnutellaforums.com/new-phex-users/ and click the "New Thread" Button (on the left side, directly above the list of threads/questions).

I hope I was able to help.
