Yes "other nearby Phex running" was active all the time, although I am sure we also tried it with it disabled ;-)

Here is a bit more information about our configuration:

- 2 Machines, 192.168.48.175/177:5555, subnet-mask is 255.255.254.0
- Selected Network named "GasoB", same on both clients.
- Both clients forced to be an Ultrapeer
- Network-Panel-Screenshot attached to this post.
- Connected only "by hand", by going to "Gnutella Net" Tab and entering at 192.168.48.175: "192.168.48.177:5555" and vice versa. So each machine has the others phex instance once in the connection list. However Phex itself is not in "Connected" state (you can go to Menu->Network->Connect), since then it only would try to connect to thousands of others Networks which fails because we use "GasoB".

If I click in the "Gnutella Net"-Tab on "Browse Host" I can see the files the other client shares (this works on both clients), however when searching for stuff I always get zero results. Downloading stays in "Waiting" forever, with the following two messages I've seen till now:
1.) "Ignored Candidate (push route failed)"
2.) Candidate not available

Would it help if I log the communication of both with ethereal/wireshark and post it here?

Thanks a lot for your help, lg Clemens
