check http://www.whatismyip.com/ it displays your ip from their POV which is the IP the freenet nodes have to use. if your ISP dispconnects you every-so-often and you therefore have a changing ip check out servides like http://www.no-ip.com/ or http://www.dyndns.com/ which will create a "static" name for your "dynamic" ip. then you have to update your freenet.ini/conf to use this NAME instead of a fixed ip value (i think my statement is correct) >2) Configure your NAT or firewall to forward connections to the listenPort number >that you noted in the previous step, to the same port on your computer. > >I tried some things that seemed to work but I just want to make sure I'm doing it >exactly right and not letting more than I need to through my firewall. check the NAT's documentation about port forwarding. you have to forward external_ip:freenet_port to internal_ip:freenet_port where external_ip is the one whatismyip.com gave you and internal_ip is the ip of your computer running freenet from within the LAN, freenet_port is the listenport= value from freenet.ini/conf HTH _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
