What is the point of "threatening" to use another client? The developers gave you this outstanding app for free. Who cares if you use another client? It's your loss, dude.

The "Unable to check port status" issue has nothing to do with any of this.

Thanks for the tip. Mine is indeed open. However ...

Same thing here. 1.2.2 on PowerBook 17"/10.4.11 (with security update), NAT enabled, tried nightly build, was working until day before yesterday. Cannot enable PEX now.
