Are you sure that it's technically required to be able to accept incoming connections? I am quite sure that my computer is not able to do so. I only have a LAN-IP, and the only way to contact the web is through a HTTP/FTP/SOCKS Proxy server. I am using SocksCap (http://www.socks.nec.com/reference/sockscap.html) to acess the SOCKS-Proxy. I know that freenet works, since I can download websites. I had some some 15 connections after browsing through some sites, when suddenly one connection after the other closed down until none was left. My traffic monitor didn't indicate any traffic, and I (think I) know that the SOCKS proxy closes connections that were idle for some time. >> It works, but the Proxy is closing any ideling TCP-Connection, if >> there was no data send through it for some time. > > ???? > > Is this a transient node or something?

The node is set to transient, yes. eph _______________________________________________ support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
