Please excuse me, I am not a native English speaker. The main problem I am facing is that after accidentally uninstalling freenet, and then installing it again, Freenet fails to connect.

I am guessing this is a problem caused by the port used by Freenet before and after installing it, but I could be wrong, since I am not an expert. Please, could you guide me in how to change the ports Freenet connects to, or guide me to a solution for my porblems? I appreciate your time in reading this, I know you have other stuff to attend to. I really wish you could reply to my message, it would be very kind of you. Thanks a lot, a former Freenet user wanting to use this amazing service again. Plz note that 'Open Freenet' is not starting it, this command only sends the Fproxy address http://127.0.0.1:/ to your browser. It is a confusingly named item that would better read 'open the Freenet nodes homepage' or something. Starting Freenet on windows is done by double clicking Freenet.exe or by using the start menu item 'start Freenet'. Third way is to use FNs system tray icon and pick 'start Freenet'. You can check if FN is actually started by looking in winz' Task Manager, control-shift-escape. You should see freenet.exe, freenetwrapper.exe and java.exe in the Processes tab. The port numbers of your installation don't need to be changed. The ones your install uses can be found by looking at what's in the Freenet folder. Different file and folder names have two 5 digit numbers in them, for instance openpeers-12345. Those are the ports you can forward in your router and which must not be blocked by your software firewall. Keep those numbers to yourself, BTW. There are www sites that allow you to check if a particular port is really opened. Somewhere in FNs documentation is such a site to be found and of course you can scroogle for one. Freenet must be shut down before checking. Some bad firewalls still block ports in spite of you telling it to open them, I had such a bad one. The same applies to hard-to-configure routers. For most newer routers though, it is not necessary to do this by hand, uPnP does it for you. ___ Support mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe

That should show what the problem is. You fully uninstalled Freenet before you reinstalled it? What operating system are you using (Windows? Mac OS/X?) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Support mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe

Have a look at your wrapper.log file in your Freenet directory -- it will probably tell you (near the end of the file) what the problem is. ___ Support mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
