[freenet-support] route not found
I use gentoo, and as far as i can figure out everything is pretty up to date, including my seednode.ref when i first start the daemon, and i connect to the UI via my web browser everything seems fine. then i click on one of the gateways provided (ie The Freedom Engine) and I get an error that tells me to check my web connection (which tells me that my node hasn't established any connections at all) after a few minutes, when i click on a gateway, or the gpl, or the README, or anything, i get a different error: Freenet -Route Not Found -Network Error -Couldn't retrieve key: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/GPL.txt -Hops To Live: 15 -Error: Route Not Found -Attempts were made to contact 0 nodes. -0 were totally unreachable. -0 restarted. -0 cleanly rejected. -The request couldn't even make it off of your node.

Try reseeding your node, -and if that doesn't work, contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've been running the daemon for almost 24 hours, so it seems to me that if everything was working right, i would be able to find some keys! I click the open connections link on the left side of the web UI, and it says there are no open connections. Shouldn't some connections be open? Do i need to manually enter an IP to start the connection process correctly? i'm completely lost. I want this thing to work so badly ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: [freenet-support] route not found
Yuh, some connections should be open. Although when you start it up, there won't be many connections for a bit unless you start requesting stuff. But as you say, you've tried that by trying to retrieve gpl.txt and other files.

Re: [freenet-support] help
Keys in freenet are like files on the internet. So the Data not found message you're getting is similar to a 404: Page not found page you might see from time to time on the internet. There's a bit more to it, but you can think of it like that. Is your freenet running well? Can you retrieve *anything* or does *everything* come back with data not found? How long have you been running freenet for (it takes some hours to adapt to the network the very first time you use it - this is for obvious reasons). A lot of useful information can be obtained by opening the browser to http://127.0.0.1: and clicking on Open Connections. Are there any connections (Is your node able to connect to other nodes?) - if so, how many inbound and how many outbound? If you click on Node Status Interface (under Internals) on the freenet web interface page, and then click on the topmost Node Reference Status link, what does it say? How many node references are there, what does the Connection Attempts say, etc As a last resort - is there anything scary looking in the logfile (freenet.log) like big flashing ERROR messages? d - Original Message - From: Uncle Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:28 PM Subject: [freenet-support] help How do I get keys and avoid this error: Freenet Couldn't Retrieve Key Network Error Data not found (Freenet could not find the data) Retrying... = John Sale [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: [freenet-support] help
I don't show any of those links on the web interface page. This may be the problem thoughWhen I click on the switch to advance mode link in the upper left hand corner. It says that I am in transient mode and cannot switch to advances. Hm - if you're in transient mode then that's why you're not getting incoming connections. If you look in the option windo it show that I am not in trabnsient mode...and when you go to the for geeks only tab and check the boxt o change those setting on the first tab, it doesn't work the transientg mode and running 24/7 check bixes are alwqays grayed out. You can't actually change the 'transient' mode setting - it's detected automatically. If your computer is behind a firewall then you're probably transient. Transient means that computers on the internet cannot connect to your computer. This is because your firewall is not letting them! So to fix this you will need to make sure your firewall allows traffic to your freenet port. If you're not running a firewall, or firewall software, or you're connected directly to the internet through a modem, or your network or LAN doesn't have a firewall, or gateway, or NAT or anything like that, then it should work. Otherwise whatever is stopping freenet receiving incoming connections will need to be reconfigured. Obviously external hardware devices like these cannot be reconfigured by the Freenet software! You'll need to configure them yourself. I don't know. I've heard really great things about Freenet project, but I'm getting kinda skeptical. It's great, honest I've let frenet runn for days and it still brings nothing up...it either looks for a page for ever or I get the error that I sent you earlier. it seems that ther are a hell of a lot of extra configureations just to gert this thing to work. Why doesn't it configure cortrectly from the installation? For most people and system configurations, it does. But you still didn't tell me what's in your logfile. I can't really do much to help fix this if you don't do what I ask! d ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: [freenet-support] help
He may be having trouble giving you log if he is trying from the rabbit. At least on my system the display of log from rabbit does little more than that. I've mentioned it several times, but either no one believe me or the problem remains uncomprehended or unimportant. When I try to display log from Rabbit Menu I get display. Mark is possible, but only within the given page. One can move the segment and then mark in another section. A somewhat deceptive process if one need to pass along more than one page of the log. The Button at the bottom of the window that shows the log file (end of, if box checked) does nothing with the marked contents. One can use ctrl-c to copy, then open an editor to generate a file and then use ctrl-v to put the marked material into that file, or one can open a email window after using the mark and ctrl-c and put a segment into the mail message. This all seems very primitive, but either the Rabbit-display log works for everyone but me or fixing what looks like a useful method for selecting and forewarding log information is considered one of those user friendly functions that does help get freenet working. One can go to the directory when freenet is installed and open that file to copy some contents, or send freenet.log as an attachement, or perhaps zip that file and send the zip copy on. For novices, that may not be the easiest (search does not work on my 2K opsys unless I am Administrator, which might be a problem to others using 2K Win) if one does not know where freenet was installed. The system works pretty good for gurus, but not for many of the remainder.

Re: [freenet-support] Question 2
The seednodes file is only needed when you start freenet the first time. After that it will load the nodes that it has learned. You'll only need it again if your routingtables become corrupted.
