Nooooo! The IP address given here is the IP address which a node will tell other nodes to connect to, obviously 127.0.0.1 is inappropriate for this. It must be the IP address that other nodes must connect to to reach this node. For example, the Linux installer now runs /sbin/ifconfig and extracts what appears to be the node's external IP address. I am not sure what the equivalent would be for a Windows machine, but I am sure that others do. For example, if you are behind a firewall, as I am at work, you should set the firewall to forward the freenet listenport to your node, and set IPaddress in the node to that of your firewall. Works a charm (perhaps one for the FAQ and/or the helpfile in the installer). Ian. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
