Gautham
I haven't done this, but I'm pretty sure the procedure would be as follows :
- Install freenet but don't download a seednodes.ref, or delete it
- Start it so a node identity is generated (a file named node in the freenet
directory) then stop it again
- Make a new local refs file for the nodes on your LAN.
This is simply all the contents of the various node files concatenated
together, without blank lines (the last line of an identity is End which
acts as a delimiter.)
- Name it seednodes.ref and put in each nodes freenet directory, start them up
and check after a while in open connections that they are in fact only
connecting to each other.
Depending on deployment issues you may find it more convenient to access the
noderefs over the LAN :
http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE/servlet/nodestatus/myref.txt
However, to do this you will need to (temporarily) have mainport.allowedHosts in
each node's freenet.conf set to allow access from all LAN hosts, e.g.
mainport.allowedHosts=127.0.0.0/8,192.168.1.0/24.

It looks like it's not quite that simple :( There is quite a lot of extra info stored in seednodes.ref node references which isn't in the node files, but it's mostly estimator data which is generated dynamically as the network learns which therefore should not be needed. It appears from this however that mainport does expect a sessions line e.g. sessions=1, and possibly other things. The only other way I can think of is to use the distribution servlet. Again though I have no actual experience of doing this so it's a bit of a guess :/ - Start node locally on one computer, with no seednodes - Click the Spread freenet link on the first page of the web interface, i.e. http://127.0.0.1:8891/. This will start the distribution servlet. - Go to next PC and navigate to the URL the distribtion servlet gave you, download your freenet distribution from there (NOT freenetproject.org). Start it and *hopefully* it will know that the first computer is a node. - Repeat for all PCs in the network. AFAIK you should be able to download from the first computer in all cases, since the nodes will eventually all find each other via the first one. This is a very clunky way of doing it for a big LAN though. If that doesn't work either, really you want a response from someone who actually understands how this stuff works ;) If nobody replies here you might try emailing one of the core developers like Matthew (toad at amphibian dot dyndns dot org).
