Error. Connection Refused
 

I just download Phex 0.7.3, this is the first time i've ever you used this gnutella program. I can seem to get it to work. I get "error. connection refused" message. I have LIMEWIRE and can connect with it, but I hate this program. I like the look of PHEX and would like to use it. I running Mac OS 10.1.5. I have DSL. So what am I doing wrong. Please help.

I have the same problem. Mac os 10.1.5, phex 0.7.3

I have the same problem, it doesnt seem to install anything and i cant do anything with it. Some one help us!!!

Hello,
just the same with me using 073, Os2 and DSL.

I know it will not make MacPhex users happier, but if you've got LimeWire you should follow the instructions available on LimeWire site. The text goeas as follows:

>>One of our machines is down. Enable View -> Connections, go to the Connections tab and type in 208.239.76.100. Click add. If you have the latest version 2.5.5 you should never have these problems again after connecting once and cleanly shutting down after a while.<<

So, enable Coonections, enter the numbers, click add. Quit LimeWire and launch it again. If it does not work shut the program again, and then launch it. It will work.

Same problem with Gnu/Linux RedHat 7.3 and RedHat 7.1 with java 1.3.1-04 and 1.4.1rc1. I have never used Phex but I am a long time user of Limewire (which does wark on both systems).

Well, I got Gnu/Linux RH7.3 with j2re1.4.1 working by following the download of the "3 Phex Host File" instuctions from the http://phex.kouk.de/connection.htm FAQ question.
