Re: [freenet-support] Assistance
Thanks so much to Luke and others for your response! I am attempting to implement Frost as I type this, and I got a good laugh over sending IP address to the NSA. I tried Freetalk as well, with the same result as FMS. No captchas downloaded no matter what I did. As you can tell by the delay in my answering your message, I tried it for a couple of days. I think it is safe to say that no captchas were *going* to download, which concerns me. There is evidently something in my configuration that is preventing me from using Web of Trust, although I can't figure out what it is. I have forwarded ports 11231, 57881, 9481 through my router and opened them through my firewall (Zone Alarm Pro) as well. I have confirmed that Windows Firewall is *not* running. I have also rebooted several times. g If there is something else I should check, I would appreciate learning about it. My Windows version is XP Pro, latest updates and service packs. I've just minimized this message and noticed that Frost is hung at about 2/3 in its starting sequence. I am now going to go drink a large cup of hemlock. sigh A few moments later, it wants me to check my node is running - but it says it will start anyway. Node is definitely running. I have confirmed that the service is running, and through the web interface, I can see that I am connected to one friend and 11 strangers. Now Frost is using about 55 percent of my CPU and doing nothing that I can see, but the splash screen has finally gone away. An hour later - my HD is being accessed like crazy, but still no sign of any application. I'm clearly going to have to reboot. Terribly, terribly frustrating. And the guy that maintains the active links page wants new sites announced in FMS, so even if I do get Frost working, somehow I still have to get Web of Trust stuff working also. I'm about to throw up my hands and give up. Not worth it. Damned shame, too - I'd already created a flog and an active link - needed only to write first blog entry and get it up there. Gr. Please - any help greatly appreciated.

Re: [freenet-support] Assistance
Naughty, naughty, Dennis! It's not nice to f**k with Mother Nature, lol. Believe it or not, I reinstalled FMS - if at first, you don't succeed, start over at the beginning, lol. Guess what? I'm starting to see captchas - and messages. Go figure . . . Kate Dennis Nezic wrote: On Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:17:42 -0500, Kathryn A. Graham wrote: Terribly, terribly frustrating.

Please - any help greatly appreciated. Kate I can't help you with FMS, i've given up on that (i'm not going to rant about it). It's still used by a few people but from what my node picks up there are significantly more active conversations on Frost, unfortunately developers have stopped reading all the bug reports there *cough*. The problem seems to be that something has stopped Frost connecting to your node. Is your node running on the same machine? If so then you did *not* need to forward 9481 port on the router, but you might have needed to open it on Zone Alarm anyhow (i'm not sure). Now, Zone Alarm also keeps track of what applications try to access the network, Frost needs to be one of them, even though it only accesses the node (and i believe you can specify that) it needs to have that access, otherwise that might be causing the problem. Can you check that and get back to me on the list? - Volodya P.S. You don't want to post the Node ports on the open list, because this way others will be able to know that it's you who has connected to them. Of course if it doesn't matter, then it's ok, but it creates an atmosphere where others may slip and post that info also. - -- http://freedom.libsyn.com/ Echo of Freedom, Radical Podcast http://eng.anarchopedia.org/ Anarchopedia, A Free Knowledge Portal http://www.freedomporn.org/ Freedom Porn, anarchist and activist smut None of us are free until all of us are free.~ Mihail Bakunin -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpI+jUACgkQuWy2EFICg+0U1gCdEz5LJZPkHAQIS623pQKs/PTi whwAnRqc8AuNY+a/sJe8ki4ps06sRQn6 =g8JZ -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

Re: [freenet-support] Assistance
Thanks for your suggestions, Volodya. No, my node is definitely on the same machine where I am trying to run Frost. I'm on a home network, but my other half is no computer whiz, and I am the only one experimenting with Freenet as yet. He will be my test case once I get comfortable with this stuff, and before I try to write any book chapters about Freenet. If he can do it, any Windows user can, lol. I've checked the ZA programs listing and Frost is not listed as such - merely as an instance of Java. I've given Java more access than I am completely comfortable with, but Frost still cannot connect to my node at all. I've tried turning ZA and Avast off completely, but it still does not work. The Web of Trust plugin is not working either (for Freetalk). Just FMS, and only since I reinstalled it a little while ago. I'm not successfully announced yet, of course, but a few captchas are trickling in and I can read some messages. I'm heartened by tentative success with FMS, and I'm going to reinstall Web of Trust and see if I can get that working now for Freetalk.

Re: [freenet-support] Assistance
Hi, Volodya, No worries. There is no such thing as an insulting question when something isn't working. I worked support enough years to have a thick skin anyway. I got Frost from the alpha/plugins directory at downloads.freenetproject.org. However, no worries there. I downloaded Frost again, removed the old, and tried from scratch - and bingo, it's working. I did the same with Freemail, and it is suddenly working also, lol. Evidently, third time is the charm. I am coming to the conclusion that being stubborn is an asset in this business. WoT and Freetalk are still not working - not even after a reinstall of the unofficial plugins - but as somebody just pointed out, they are still a work in progress. Does anyone know when Freenet 0.8 is expected? I understand Freetalk will be bundled with it, and I hope it can be persuaded to work by then. Many thanks for all the help! Kate This is very very strange. FMS is working when Frost isn't, perhaps an insulting question, but where did you get the version of Frost you are running?
