I had to reinstall Freenet from scratch after an OS crash. It had been
running fine. Now I can't, for the life of me, get it passed my router.
The virtual server setting in the router still had the previous
listenPort so I just changed it to the newly installed freenet.ini
entry. I know I'm missing something that's probably obvious to the
more experienced.
Based upon the info below, I'm hoping some wise and kind soul might
offer some advice!
My D-Link router (DI-604) is set to DHCP server enabled (IP from ISP is
dynamically assigned). I've used substitutes for some of the real IP
numbers for the sake of privacy, yet the numbers of digits are the same.
In the freenet.ini line:
ipAddress=
which one do I use from the router's WAN info?: (My assumption was the
IP address)
WAN
IP Address XX.XX.XXX.100
Default Gateway XX.XX.XXX.1
Use the external IP address. Not the LAN address. If you are on DHCP
this will change occasionally... you may want to look at dyndns.org or
some similar service...
I then inserted the listenPort number from the freenet.ini:
listenPort=X
into the router's virtual server configurator, where I created this:
FreeNet 192.168.0.1 TCP X/X
(192.168.0.1 being Private IP, X/X being the PrivatePort/PublicPort)
PrivatePort/PublicPort? Shouldn't that just be the same as the
listenPort above?
based upon my router LAN specs:
LAN
IP Address 192.168.0.1
I tried 192.168.0.100 (the actual computer using Freenet) and that
didn't work either).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
