Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default can't connect after sp2

I am using Phex 2.0.0.76 with JRE 1.5. When I was using XP SP1 everything was fine. After I upgraded to SP2, Phex is having problems connecting to any remote host. It keeps reporting "error: connect time out" in the status field.

I have tried turning off windows firewall and still does not help.

The symptom seems to be that the "my address" field is always showing "127.0.0.1:12530". I have tried to force my ipaddress by using "export Host ip as" but it does not seem to help.

Can someon please provide some suggestions?

Try reducing the number of connections, you attempt.

Increease the time-out time in preferences (SP2 imposes some restrictions on the number of simultaneous connections).

That's what comes to my mind at first.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried increasing the connection timeout to 15 seconds, and it does not see to help.

One key observation I made with Phex's behavior is that:
- in sp1, phex will start with "my address: 127.0.0.1:<port>" and within seconds change the ip address to my publicly visible address automatically
- in sp2, phex just stays with "my address: 127.0.0.1:<port>", and never grab on to my public ip address.

Is there anything I can do to change this behavior?

(p.s. I have tried exporting my public address in options and it does not see to help.)

Your adress stays 127.0.0.1 if you don't find a connection, as soon as you are connected your adress changes into your IP
Have you tried to reinstall Phex and delete the phex folder in Documents and Settings\your account name\phex ?
Note, you do lose your settings and partial files info when doing that.

Thanks for explaining when the ipaddress changes from 127.0.0.1.

I have just tried RaaF's suggestion of reinstalling Phex and ensuring the phex folder in Documents and Settings\your account name\phex was removed. Unfortunately it had no effect. I still can't connect.

SP2 is definitely giving me grief...

krapbucket,
Have you added phex to the WinXP sp2 firewall settings ?
Read this thread in the limewire forums.

And of course you can always uninstall SP2 under software in your configuration screen.

Hi Raaf:

Thanks for continue to try to help me.

I have turned off Windows firewall via Control Panel, and turned it off in the Services (via administrative tools). I turned it off because I am trying to get SP2 to "behave" like SP1.

Despite turning off windows firewall completely, I still can not get Phex to connect *sigh*

I just thought I'd throw this out: if you're trying to make SP 2 behave like SP 1 then why not simply uninstall SP 2 (like Raaf suggests)?

Default Sp Problems

I just installed Phex and so far, I like it.

I have a solution to the Sp2 problems with the number of connections.

http://www.lvllord.de/?lang=en&url=tools

This page is to download a small patch to fix the connections limit. I came across it while having problems with shareaza. Works fine for me.

Great, thanks!
I published a FAQ entry about this on the Phex website.
