But if I understand, Freenet can't work on a network without fixed IP or dns server ?
Freenet can't work with an internal IP and port redirection from the external IP so no way to go throw a firewall ?
Lot of constraint for trying to make a free network with everyone.

Freenet works fine with ports forwarded from the firewall, but it doesn't use uPNP or anything, so you need to manually forward the port. You do need to keep the port number the same between the firewall and host. I know, I've done it. These days I run it on my firewall machine - small network, only that machine stays on 24/7 :P

I am force to make a little program who will modify the freenet.ini for changing the IP and unloading and reloading Freenet? I wonder why so basic things are not implement in Freenet.

Or use a service such as dyndns.org and put your hostname in your freenet.ini. Freenet has routines to check for IP changes (I've disabled them - static IP), so it should work pretty well once it's established, but before that it needs to announce an IP and port to connect to over the network so people start connecting to it.
