[freenet-support] RE: trouble getting any information
Hi there Jeff I got your email from a support board for freenet. You described the same problem that I am having. "The request couldn't even make it off of your node. Try again, perhaps withthe GPL to help your node learn about others. The publicly available seednodes have been very busy lately. If possible try to get a friend to giveyou a reference to their node instead." please could you tell me what you worked out as I have not yet managed it! I am running Win XP with IE and Zonealarm Pro (active and switched off, no difference). thanks Rhys ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [freenet-support] RE: trouble getting any information
I am running Win XP with IE and Zonealarm Pro (active and switched off, no difference). Please don't use IE with Freenet. You don't want to compromise your anonymity, whether you now feel you need it or not. As for the problem you describe, it may be that you just need to keep running Freenet. When I've gotten those messages (and everything should have been okay) I've noticed that they just go away after a while. A small possibility is that everything *is* running okay, but your node doesn't know about enough other nodes yet, and the few it does know about maybe rejected your node's advances because they were too busy at the moment. Like a busy signal on the telephone. Remember also that Freenet, unlike other peer to peer networks, doesn't offer the convenience of turning it on only when you want. For the node to work at all well, it needs to integrate itself into the network. When I started my last office job, I learned everyone's name and got on a conversation-basis with them sometime before I actually was able to get in on the rumor distribution chain. It's roughly the same (in effect) with Freenet. Run it as much as possible until you can reliably retrieve a few sites. On the other hand, maybe there's a config problem? Maybe try re-seeding the node, by running freenet-webinstall.exe again. -todd ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [freenet-support] HOWTO start up FREENET automaticly with Runlevel Scripts??
im a linux/unix newbie but want to install and have freenet started as a
daemon at system-boot time. (Runlevel 3+5). i tried something but still
failed yet to get it to work.
What OS and distro are you using? Some kind of Unix? Some kind of Linux? If
Linux, which distro? If you're running Gentoo (unlikely), then try installing
Freenet from 'emerge freenet' and run 'rc-update add freenet default'.
Really, without knowing your OS, there's not much help to be had. If you're
feeling adventurous, you can check out my script below. The start() function
is probably what you'll want to look at. Notice the CLASSPATH variable. You
need to have freenet.jar and freenet-ext.jar in there.
#!/sbin/runscript
# Gentoo freenet init.d-script
#
# This script requires the companion script start-freenet.sh to do it's
# job. This script is needed to facilitate full logging of freenet.
#
# Also requires the /etc/conf.d/freenet file to be configured correctly.
