Not according to RFC 3330: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3330.txt RFC 3330 only lists specially marked ranges of domains. 5.0.0.0/8 and 1.0.0.0/8 are listed by ARIN as, respectively, the RESERVED-5 and RESERVED-9 networks, owned and oeprated by IANA itself. So, they're IANA reserved, but shouldn't necessarily be blocked by a firewall. Unless the makers of the firewall know something I don't. ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput= is the ARIN lookup form. Try, for example: http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=N%20.%20RESERVED-5 or http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=1.121.22.146 So the question becomes: is the IANA running a node? -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]

I'm wondering why freenet tries to connect to this IPs, maybe it's a bug? Anybody else noticed such a behaviour? Because we don't filter for them. Perhaps we should. This is probably caused by people explicitly setting their addresses to these; I don't know why they would do that, but perhaps they misread ifconfig (for example, things like webcams sometimes use reserved addresses). It might be worth looking further into this, as I thought we DID filter them... -Klaus -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
