Sorry, hold on! I finally found the full set up instructions under the Frost guide. Unfortunately the newbie windows "guide" gave me (and no doubt many who 'no speak geek') the impression all I had to do was download freenet.exe, Firefox with a few settings changes & the reference file and blast away. Of course that's not it. Unfortunately.
I'm running behind a proxy on a LAN, as it turns out by running ipconfig, with a dynamic IP (it shows a 'lease expiry' date as described). I've set up an account on dynDNS.org and a client and configured the freenet node address accordingly. Having got that far (taken most/all of the afternoon), I now find I have to reconfigure TCP/IP for a static IP (but on Windows 2000 the control panel doesn't seem to have anything resembling what is described in the Frost newbie guide). Also, I have no idea how I would get our ISP (or is it the LAN server?) to allow port forwarding (perhaps it already does, I don't know) from 51794 (the default on freenet.exe)to my PC. They would certainly want to know why I wanted to do such a thing. Any suggestions, or am I stuffed? _______________________________________________ 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]
