I tried adding publicNode and I couldn't see any difference. The node is
running under windows XP. Both computers have valid internet addresses.
Both computers are on the same subnet. The node is configured to allow all
IP addresses mainport access, however my firewall only permits the two
computers to access fproxy or fcp. However, with the latest release it is
alot better, but you still sometimes you have to wait up to a minute for
fproxy to respond. Localhost always seems fast, so why not have an option
that allows all FCP and FProxy access to be treated like localhost. Right
now, FCP and FProxy access from non-local host addresses ARE treated
differently. Just give us the option to turn that behaviour off. I've
asked this a couple times before and I was told to use software like squid,
putty, etc. But I want to use mozilla and setting up squid on win xp is non
trivial, not to mention my poor server is overloaded right now.
Can I add my support to this? The present system of by-passing
bandwidth limits for private sub-nets may even be a disadvantage for
people serving a very large LAN, and doesn't help those of us using
routeable IPs. My Freenet server is not going to thank me for letting
it off running X-windows and then making it run squid.

Great job, freenet is getting much better. However, fproxy access for non
localhost addresses is still slow if you are running a busy permanent node.
Non-localhost addresses? LAN addresses, you mean, e.g.
10.x.x.x
192.168.x.x
etc?
Or do you mean you are trying to access the node over the internet? In
this case, I recommend you use an SSL wrapper program, you get
encryption and the node sees local connections. Oh, and set
publicNode=true in your freenet.conf, if other people can access it,
this disables some potentially damaging pages.
