The service that I used then had a update-mechanism using http. Unfortunately I just realized that there was a problem when I was on vacation for a few weeks and had no way of finding my Computer with all my mails :-( Ok, geek-trouble not beeing able to read mail in vacation ;-) Florian -- Serfs up! -- Spartacus pgphVaxIYsAhf.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ 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]

This was not perhaps my report? I had serious trouble some time ago (using blackdown on linux ...). But it turned out that there was a change in the way the freenet.conf file was interpreted. Took me some time to realize that the old OutputBandwidthLimit was in kByte and the new one in Bytes. And an OutputBandwidthLimit of 4 Bates is just to slow for every node ;-) Florian -- Serfs up! -- Spartacus pgpjvIa2rgrZv.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ 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]
Re: [freenet-support] What are distribution servlets used for?

My nodes seems to be running ok with this port > firewalled. As it seems it is used for the "Distribution Pages" (click on the link "Spread Freenet" in the Web-Interface). This spreads a freenet-zip with your personal seednodes. So not all people start with the same seednodes. This should make the net better connected I think. If the port is firewalled it just means your Distribution pages can't be accessed once they are created. It has nothing to do with the running of your node. Florian -- Well, enough clowning around.

Did something show up in the log files? I think there might be a hint if the Program was able to get the IP from your router or not. If you got that one working the next step is the connection to dyndns. Are there log-messages mentioning dyndns? In addition to that you might capture your network traffic and see if there are some hints as to what goes wrong. If you want you can send me your logfiles and eventually your dumpfiles and program-output and I'll see if I can make someting out of it. But better not to the list as it might be a little bit voluminous. Florian -- Well, enough clowning around.

A few line down you mention that your domain is "soundgigi.dyndns.org". So I would use the configuration part for dyndns (especially the server).

If your router answers to pings yes. It's perhaps safer to do a dns lookup for "soundgigi.dyndns.org" after you connected. It should point to the IP that you are using at the moment. A ping to that adress might go to another host so it's not a proof that everything worked. > > So and after that i set my IP in the freenet.config to > soundgigi.dyndns.org, right ? yes. > I appreciate your help very much !! -- str->str_pok |= SP_FBM; /* deep magic */ s = (unsigned char*)(str->str_ptr); /* deeper magic */ -- Larry Wall in util.c from the perl source code pgpRwzEEYyqNP.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ 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]
