I played with the Webinstaller some more, trying to install to a new folder (instead of on top of my old Freenet folder). Win2k, IE.
I clicked the http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-webinstall.exe URL, and ran it directly from there (I did not save it to disk first, just ran it from the URL). It ran okay, but downloaded these things to my desktop: freenet-.jar (I think this was supposed to be freenet-ext.jar, but it seems to have been renamed on its way to the desktop; strange), freenet.jar, NodeConf.exe, Freenet. I told the installer I wanted to put Freenet in e:\freenet, but this folder was not created during the install. I told it to start Freenet, but it didn't (presumably because the folder and the files it expected to exist didn't). I then created e:\freenet manually, downloaded freenet-webinstall.exe to it, and ran it from there. The folder was populated correctly and looks happy, and Freenet started up. I opened up the configuration window and noticed that it hadn't figured out my IP. Is there supposed to be something automatically getting IPs for NATted boxes (like mine)? I set the IP and all the other goo I wanted to tweak, and restarted Freenet. Double-clicked the taskbar icon, got service not available, hit refresh, got no response (just spinning IE icon) for several minutes, hit refresh again, and got the Web Interface. "Distibution Node" works with this installation; looks like it was a problem with my earlier install, probably related to me running freenet-webinstall.exe directly from the URL instead of saving to disk first. -glenn _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
