[freenet-support] connection assistance
I'm having diffuclty connecting. Can you advise? Unknown external address Freenet was unable to determine your external IP address (or the IP address of your NAT-device or firewall). You can still exchange references with other people, however this will only work if the other user is not behind a NAT-device or firewall. As soon as you have connected to one other user in this way, Freenet will be able to determine your external IP address. You can determine your current IP address and tell your node with the 'Temporary IP address hint' configuration parameter. Also, it would be a good idea to forward the ports 61616 and 27307 (UDP) on your router to make it easy to connect to your node. a..

Re: [freenet-support] connection assistance
Thank you for this sugestion. I have done this repeatedly, with no success. I note the following suggestion: "it would be a good idea to forward the ports 61616 and 27307 (UDP) on your router."
