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?
I'm sure you'll get much more informed answers, but even without port forwarding I've heard that you can get decent performance (I suppose by means of your outbound connections).
