Are you telling me > that Case B is impossible? Well, sort of. The way freenet works most nodes will never have had an incoming connection from the node they want to connect to, the only reason they know about this node is that they have got a noderef to this node passed along by another node (and to prevent tampering that noderef is signed by the original node).... /N _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
