great, thanks!

i went through the code and the tutorial and found some useful clues as far as question #2 goes...

if GregorK could shed some light on the private IPs issue, that would greatly help us testing the securely-tunneled Phex we are dreaming about...

as by now, what happens is:

- we connect to our test Hamachi network

- we see each other on Hamachi (ping, browse, ssh, ftp, jabber all work)

- we open Phex and connect to our own gnutella network

if we try to use our private Hamachi IPs to connect to each other, the connection is refused, while it works if we use the external public IPs

notes:

of course, these are not firewall issues, we triple-checked

sniffing the traffic during hanshake with the hamachi built in sniffer didnt help much
