I see.  How very interesting -- it seems to be basically NAT-over-SOCKS
(but, of course, Windows-only).

Well, in this case, you are definitely behind a firewall of the type
that will prevent Freenet from working correctly.  As I mentioned
previously, you may achieve some small degree of success when the key
you are looking for is already on the node that you contact, but
for anything else, you will have trouble.

I don't know what effect this will have on insertions, should you ever
attempt any.  I would imagine that it will be problematic.

You need to take this up with the developers.
