"Keys" in freenet are like "files" on the internet. So the "Data not found" message you're getting is similar to a "404: Page not found" page you might see from time to time on the internet. There's a bit more to it, but you can think of it like that.
Is your freenet running well? Can you retrieve *anything* or does *everything* come back with data not found? How long have you been running freenet for (it takes some hours to adapt to the network the very first time you use it - this is for obvious reasons). A lot of useful information can be obtained by opening the browser to http://127.0.0.1:8888 and clicking on "Open Connections". Are there any connections (Is your node able to connect to other nodes?) - if so, how many inbound and how many outbound? If you click on Node Status Interface (under Internals) on the freenet web interface page, and then click on the topmost Node Reference Status link, what does it say? How many node references are there, what does the Connection Attempts say, etc As a last resort - is there anything scary looking in the logfile (freenet.log) like big flashing ERROR messages? d ----- Original Message ----- From: "Uncle Dave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:28 PM Subject: [freenet-support] help > How do I get keys and avoid this error: > > Freenet > > > Couldn't Retrieve Key > > > > Network Error > > > > > Data not found (Freenet could not find the data) > Retrying... > > > ===== > John Sale > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Protect your identity with Yahoo!
