If you're getting Data Not Found, that means your node is connected to the network, it's just that when you try to load a page in Freenet, the node has gone searching for it but couldn't find it. In your case, your node probably hasn't been running long enough. When you first start it you have to give it... uh... well, a long time. There's a certain amount of time we've found that new nodes have to run, but I can't think of what it is off the top of my head. It's on the order of hours. This uptime is so the node can integrate into the network, i.e. find out which other nodes are good at delivering what kinds of data. Leave Freenet running as long as you can in one stretch. 24/7 is excellent, 8 hours should do it. Let it integrate. In other words, it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with your computer set up. You probably don't need to forward any ports or anything, especially if you're in the "DMZ". -todd ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I got freenet installed as an admin finally. I still would like to know why a limited user has problems / cannot install (??) freenet. Does freenet write files anywhere other than the location you specify in the windows installer? -- \Kyle Goetz BS Pure Mathematics, BA Japanese 2006 The University of Texas Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why do you You can always install Freenet by hand - its not that difficult. However, I beleive there should be an easier solution. > need an internet connection to install the program? Why not just bundle the > files required? Two reasons. First of all, information about the nodes you can connect to initially (they're called seed nodes, hence the seednodes file) is very dynamic, so it has to be fetched from the Freenet project website on install. And second, Freenet node versions sometimes change very frequently, so this procedure makes sure you always get the latest version. > As it now stands, I cannot install Freenet's software to my computer.

It doesn't. All downloads are over regular HTTP. Check that you can download files from Freenet website through your browser (try http://www.freenetproject.org/snapshots/NodeConfig.exe). If you can't, then it couldn't be connected to the installer. If you can, then you'll likely have to download and install Freenet by hand. Also, I've found from experience that sometimes Freenet project's site is somewhat slow in responding, and it confuses the installer - maybe there's some sort of too short a timeout somewhere in the download code... So, if you're sure you can download files from Freenet website, you can try to install Freenet several times over the course of about a day - sometimes it does help.

[freenet-support] Installation Issues
XP Home behind a firewall. I tried installing from a limited user account to my user folder. However, I kept getting "Download of nodeconfig [or any other file for that matter] failed: Retry?". Seeing as how this is the installation itself, I cannot play around with any settings to fix this issue. Why do you need an internet connection to install the program? Why not just bundle the files required? As it now stands, I cannot install Freenet's software to my computer. I have also tried installing under the admin account. If it's the firewall, then WHY does the software need ports forwarded just to install?!?! Thank you, and I hope that this issue can be resolved in some way for me, as I'm probably doing something wrong. I would have checked the previous digests, but I saw no search feature, and I did not want to manually go through however many files (read: a lot) there are of archives to see if maybe it had my problem solved. Thank you, and I really hope I sound more like someone who tried to solve the problem themselves rather than some rude noob. -- \Kyle Goetz BS Pure Mathematics, BA Japanese 2006 The University of Texas Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
