There is no way to communicate directly with your opennet peers. Your node is connected to them, and routing requests for them (and vice versa), but that doesn't mean all that much. If you want to talk to people, I suggest using an app like Frost, FMS, or Freetalk. Think of Freenet like a giant game of Telephone ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_%28game%29 ) or Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon ). Your node sends and receives messages, but who it sends them to or receives them from is only peripherally related to where they came from or where they're going. So don't worry about who your opennet peers are; they're just semi-random people who use Freenet.

It is possible that you want to talk to people on Freenet in general (some of them might be those you are connected to, but you will have no knowledge of that (and that's the point of anonymity)). To do that you need to set up one of the "chat" applications which use Freenet to transfer their messages. For example you can go to http://jtcfrost.sf.net/ and install that application, after that you create a pseudonym and can communicate using that pseudonym with other people. - Volodya > On Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:40:47 +0700 Evan Daniel > wrote: >> On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 9:41 PM, wrote: >>> Hello people. >>> I have these "peers" and they are "connected".

Re: [freenet-support] Peer connections
Hey Evan. I tried that site but it doesn't open or exist. I have gone to quite a few sites concerning "how to forward" ports and so far none of them instruct "how to", just "this is what you need to do. Frustrating to say the least. Since you say I am connected, how to I contact whoever I am connected to? I have searched through all the pages of Freenet I can access but nothing that shows or leads me into the path or manner of trying to "contact" any of these "connected" ones.

Similarly, they have everything they need. There are plenty of people who can do a better job than I explaining how to forward a port. Some of them have done so on this mailing list; some of those, recently. I suggest checking the list archives.

[freenet-support] Peer connections
Hello people. I have these "peers" and they are "connected". I am assuming "connected" to me in some manner. In order to connect to them, I have to give them something, and/or get something from them. Where, no, how do I find their info in order to connect? I know I can send my noderef but where do I find theirs? Also, the message in the window mentions using a certain port. I think it says something like UDP but since I don't have that page open please forgive me if I got the letters wrong. SIGH! Again, it mentions forwarding this port and I cannot seem to understand how to do this. Thanks for any help. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
