You will definitely need a dyndns account unless you happen to KNOW you have a static address. *IF* you are behind a router. But you probably aren't since you are using Norton. So don't worry about it, Freenet should detect the IP automatically. > > >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 You are probably not using a NAT so you don't need port forwarding. You DO need to configure Norton to allow incoming connections on the listenPort (check your freenet.ini for a line like listenPort=12345). > > HTH -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
