[freenet-support] Inst. problem (OSX) connexion problem (xp)

[Jean-Claude Féret]

Hi,
for a bit more than a year, I used Freenet (discontinuously but 
regularly), without problems on Mac PPC Tiger.
Now, I updated my old machine to an iMac-Intel, and, trying to follow 
the advices, downloaded the last Freenet.jnlp, but, even if it arrived 
correctly on my desk, it doesn't start the install, neither 
automatically, nor by double-clicking it.


So, continuing to follow the instructions, and since the first steps 
didn't work, I went to Linux instructions, and entered in Terminal the 
commands how they are given to DL the new install jar.


wget http://freenet.googlecode.com/files/new_installer_offline_1222.jar 
-O new_installer_offline.jar

java -jar new_installer_offline.jar

It didn't work... so, I extracted the first part of it (URL) and Dlded 
it by hand with FireFox.


I must say that I still am a bit bepuzzled with the content of it, that 
doesn't seem to ressemble the sort of packages to be installed through 
Terminal... no file called install nor istall info, giving the steps 
to follow… nor file in it looking somehow a bit alive (.sh, .jar, 
.exec...) so, I tried anyway to follow the commands given in the tut, 
but it didn't work either...


Next thing, since I'm on mac-Intel, I tried to install it on the xp pro 
side of my computer...


It downloaded OK, and installed fine (there is already i2p working fine 
on this xp), but now, and after few hours, it doesn't seem to be able to 
connect to nodes... I opened the proper holes in the router from my 
modem, and it didn't managed either... (I choosed *normal *at all 
security levels, meaning that it could connect to unknowns), and also 
gave momentaryly my IP (bybassing proxy)... besides this, I don't think 
that for this xp pro there is any firewall... have to investigate though 
to see if my mac Firewall works for it (really don't think so, neither 
LittleSnitch)...


I must say however that I would very much prefer to have freenet 
installed and working on Leopard, not fearing then any virus and such 
problems with it... I know, if XP would get infected I would only have 
to reinstall it... since I don't keep much folders in it... (at the 
beginnig, I'd try to see if, been on Mac, it would be protected from 
such attacs and infections, and, just for the experiment went to a site 
where I new to find bugs, and... ;-)… well I had to reinstall it... 
so now, I'm being a bit careful.


Next thing, if I can't find proper solutions, would be to install 
Freenet on the linux part of my OS (there is already stealthnet on 
Kubuntu, working fine) and this has anyway, like mac, the Unix security 
level...


I'd be grateful for a little advice... thanks.

[freenet-support] Maybe redondant (since the firts mail came back)

[Jean-Claude Féret]

HI...
Having sent a mail to the mailing list, it came back saying I must send 
it to this address (I seem to remember that it is the same one...) any 
way, so do I now, and sorry if it is a duplicate...

[freenet-support] problems with config

[Jean-Claude Féret]

Hi,
I guess you feel better if I do write in English ?
First of all, I'm on OS X 10.4.10 and used upto now Azureus and mlDonkey 
(occasionally LimeWire or Ants)
Having heard about freenet, I did download it, and followed the 
installation procedure

(/by the way, and if it can be of any interest for you, the bug 
mentionned when using ubuntu, was there also with Mac OS X : error 
message saying that the download of that or that part didn't work, and, 
how I was advised to, I did click on continue... that happened quite 
many times during the installation, in fact for maybe the 2/3 of the 
files but it came to the end of it/)

So, I went to the next document : How to configure Freenet. And there, 
was unable to get the config wizard.

? La connexion a ?chou?, Firefox ne peut ?tablir de connexion avec le 
serveur ? l'adresse 127.0.0.1: ?

Since it it goes through local host, I guess it probably is part of the 
downloaded folder, but I didn't see there any trace of it.

Since I also didn't manage to find how to open anything in relation to 
Freenet, I wasn't either able to do any config manualy...

Some advise would then be most welcome... Thanks in advance
