Exellent, it works perfectly (in my test, at least. I have yet to try it
for for it's real purpose). I don't know why it didn't before, but
whatever. Still, I may have another problem - is freenet portable? If I
run the installer to install to a flash drive, put firefox-portable on that
drive, write a batch script to start freenet and open firefox to
127.0.0.1:, will it work on another computer? (assuming that computer
has java). It doesn't seem like freenet would _need_ any registry entries
to function, but I'd like to be sure, and i'm not certain I'd catch
everything if I did it myself.

I've just found Freenet, and it looks really great. I've always

have, so I love what this is doing. Anyway, I've had what seems to be a
good idea - set up people at my school to use freenet. I'm planning to
bundle it with a few other apps (tor, firefox+privacy addons, utorrent,
etc)
and let people download it and put it on their flash drives, and run it
whenever they get on a school computer. As they did this, they'd
connect to
a mini-freenet (darknet of course), within the school. The main problem
I've got here is that freenet doesn't work over LAN, or at least I can't
figure out how to make it do so. I don't want one computer on freenet,
and
the others running a browser pointed to 192.168.1.X. I want to set up a
darknet composed of computers within the same LAN.
If anyone knows how I could do this, or could suggest another way to do
it (I tried WASTE, and couldnt get it going either) I would very much
appreciate it.
Thanks,

The Freenet program has no idea if an IP address is a LAN or WAN address.
Because it can not know your exact network settings. The only thing it
does
is sending packets to other IP addresses. Your users should always point
their browsers to 127.0.0.1, not external IP address, since fproxy binds
to
loopback interface, not external interfaces, otherwise it would require
authentification to connect to the node. When you get 3-4 nodes up
running, you can try to connect them by exchanging noderefs. to do all
this
in pure darknet (without access to internet) just remove seednodes.fref
file
in freenet's root directory. You may put it back when you decide to use
opennet. However, since you use LAN, you should probably not use opennet
connections, since it is WERY easy to find out that you run freenet when
you
do so. Hope this helps.
No need to delete the seednodes file. Just turn off opennet on the
config screen.
Running opennet on the LAN should work just fine, with no more
security issues than running opennet anywhere else.
I've run two nodes on the same LAN; it doesn't require any special
configuration. I just turned on opennet on both, then exchanged
darknet refs, and they connected over the LAN and connected to the
outside world, and it all just worked.
