I use the latest version v13.9.2 but i meet a question in this case:

I use [dat share] to share a folder in ubutun, and use [dat dat://xxx] in another folder of this vm , it ok.

but i use [dat dat://xxx] in local vm(win7), it stop at

Connecting to dat network...

i use dat doctor dat://xxx, and get some output

I check that somebody see utp is not supported in windows, i use [dat share --utp=false], but the issue is still exist.

so what is the root cause, any help?

UTP support was recently added for windows. Make sure you have the latest version of dat.

It looks like your windows 7 VM is failing to connect to anything, including some public trackers. Can you ping discovery1.publicbits.org from within your win7 vm?

[aximo]

we can not ping discovery1.publicbits.org

Pinging discovery1.publicbits.org [45.55.78.106] with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 45.55.78.106:

so can i use dat in a private network?

You should be able to connect locally via MulticastDNS. But not sure about the support in Windows or across platforms.

When you run dat doctor, it'll print out a key to use on the other computer (instead of using the dat key). But we should also add a local option in the doctor.
