Steven When you request a web page or similar from the network your node selects where to forward that request to. In certain circumstances your node cannot find a place to send the request on to, that is when you get that message.
To see the list of other nodes that your node will forward requests to have a look at 'http://localhost:8888/servlet/nodestatus/nodestatus.html', if most of the nodes are blue you will see trouble, if most of the nodes are red then you might see some trouble. To weed out any 'bad' nodes from your routing table you have to let your node run for prolonged periods of time (permanently would be prefered). Also, since last weekend the network is undergoing severe changes, probably reinforcing your problems quite a bit. Btw, are you running the latest build (5046)? /N > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven > Sent: den 1 december 2003 09:42 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [freenet-support] Instead of getting smarter,My node > seems to get dumber > > > So far I have completely Demilitarized my computer running > the node (placed it > outside of my linksys router's firewall), registered an > account with dyndns > in order to run a permanent node (which finally works) tried > stable and > unstable releases, and am still having the same problem... > When I start my > node, some (maybe half) of the links work (they load so fast > that i wonder if > they are not simply cached on my node already).
