Only a reinstall from scratch brought me back on FN. I mean really from scratch, also the (big) datastore and .ini anew; a reinstall with that put back also didn't work. Since I have not opened the new port numbers in my router, I figured it may be my router misbehaving or me configuring it wrong. But OTOH then FN would not function at all and not like usual for me, be a big problem to connect but OK once in and left running. Also, an online test for open ports said it's OK once my old software firewall was removed. So then what's left is that I somehow misconfigured Freenet; I'll send you the old .ini. I'd really like to know what the problem at mine might be! Because I've done a complete reinstall more often in the past but the problem always returned after some time. So if you would care to look into it? Got another xp box, only used for childs games too, a plain vanilla xp that's only updated for security and it had the same problem when I tried. Can't remember though if I reused my .ini file. Can I conclude the Freenet wrapper no longer runs as a service, meaning that the FN service can be removed? It depends when you installed it. Recent versions don't use a service. However, if your node uses a service, keep the service. Noticed the service is still there doing nothing. I'll remove it. ___ 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

Re: [freenet-support] Freenet is connecting to the network - this may take a few minutes ...
Jep : ... must at mine be read as 'Freenet is *not* connecting to the network no matter what- this may take forever and a day.' As long as I'm using FN, which is nearly a year; my working scheme when updating, rebooting the system or for some other reason having to restart Freenet looks like this: 1 Just try it - this almost never works. Okay okay, say 3 out of 4 times it doesn't. 2 delete nodedb4o and try it 3 delete nodedb4o and everything with the port numbers in its name and try it 4 put the datastore folder and freenet.ini aside, uninstall Freenet and reinstall, put the stuff back and try it More often than not, only after step 4 it finally finds its stranger peers. But today again, nothing and nothing helps so Freenet is dead and I am, again, out of options. What I see happening is that when starting FN, for some 45 seconds, some seednodes are found and connected to. Then those connections drop and are never built up again. After that, the wrapper log only adds, line after line: 'Trying to connect to some seednodes...' and nothing else happens. XP, plenty of RAM and HD space, java up to date, ports fwd'd in the router. Once FN does connect, it stays that way. That is, apart from the backoff problem that seems to get worse. If there is any tip, short of giving up on Freenet, please let me know. Thanks for your reply. A question asked earlier, to which I have not seen an answer: Can I conclude the Freenet wrapper no longer runs as a service, meaning that the FN service can be removed? And yet another. Matthew, you asked for a big log some time ago, and I sent it. And I have not seen any conclusion of it other than that you hoped a new FN build would solve my connection problems. Which was a little bit true, but only a very little bit. It connected finally then, but it still stays hell if if I need to restart FN. 1335 somehow connected to strangers once more, after being off FN for more than a day. But, there's a new build already, mandatory on Friday, and I am for obvious reason not very keen to update. The backoff problem seems to have gone worse than ever, currently 8 connected and 32 backoffs. Maybe all will backoff today and not come back, and I will have to try to connect anyway... Very nice, those plans for .8 but am I asking too much if I solely want FN to work? ___ 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
