Hi, there. Hope you don't mind my butting in, being a
newbie to freenet and all.
Q: When a node "out there" (in the public net) is talking to
my node (protected by a NAT/masq firewall), is it trying to
talk to the addr my node gave it (in the private network). I
have to assume the former, since I have been able to fetch
and insert, but my node can only initiate and not respond?
