If your box is on a non-routable IP (192.168.*, 10.*, etc.) then
you can't run Freenet without manually forwarding at least one port
through the NAT firewall.  There's obviously no way for the Windows
installer to do that.

Also, unless this has changed recently, you'll have to configure the
node's IP address and port number to match what's being forwarded.

Nodes that are on routable IP addresses do not have to have their
IP address (or dynamic DNS names) entered in the config file any
more.  Matthew's new ARK feature is supposed to take care of this
case.
