24 hours are a long time for just a single connection. I allways get the following error: "Couldn't Retrieve Key Couldn't connect to the network. Are you sure you have configured Freenet correctly? Also make sure that you are connected to the internet." when trying to connect to a freenet link like: http://127.0.0.1:8888/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/TFE//?htl=15&try=3 > I note that you haven't showed the external internet address of the > router. Did you add it to the freenet.conf file?: > ipAddress=82.65.12.3 > or > ipAddress=amphibian.dyndns.org > [ using dyndns is a common solution for such setups, they are a free > dynamic DNS provider, www.dyndns.org ] I didn't showed it because the external ip changes allways automatically after the login to my ISP. I just started the router and then i used the IP the router get from the ISP after the login in the freenet.conf file, after editing the freenet.conf file with the new ip i started freenet. > > Also, did you remove the % at the beginning of the line? No sorry i forgot it. But i removed it a few minutes ago and tried it again but still no success. I still get the above mentioned error message. Do i really have to wait 24 hours for the first connection success message? > > > Those are the iptables firewall rules i used for accesing freenet: > > iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -o ppp0 -p tcp \ > > -s 192.168.100.8 --sport 1024: --dport 23030 -m state > > --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED > > > > iptables -A FORWARD -j ACCEPT -i ppp0 -p tcp \ > > --sport 23030 -d 192.168.100.8 -m state --state > > ESTABLISHED,RELATED > > > > iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 23020 -j DNAT > > --to-dest 192.168.100.8 > > Ok.

Ok i just tested on the Shield UP website (a port scanner -> http://grc.com/ ) if the port 23030 is open. The results where: Port: 23030 Status: Open Protocol and Application: Unknown Protocol for this port Unknown Application for this port Seems to me that this is working. > > I do not know if it is a firewall rules problem. Check the Open > Connections page, do you have incoming connections? No, the Open Connection page shows the following: "Connections open (Inbound/Outbound/Limit) 0 (0/0/512) Connections transferring (Receiving/Transmitting) 0 (0/0) Bytes waiting to be sent None" Best Regards, Oliver C. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
