Your best bet is probably the freenet.log file generated in the directory where you installed Freenet. Most of the entries won't make a lot of sense to a new user, and if your log is over a couple of megs, I wuold suggest shutting down Freenet, deleting freenet.log, then starting up Freenet again. If it continues to hang up, send the last few entries out of the log to this list. Another possibility, is there an application on the local machine which uses port 8888? That's the port that Freenet's web interface uses by default, so if you have something else (such as a web proxy) running locally on that port, it would cause some problems. And finally what version of Java are you using? Some JREs run Freenet perfectly while others seem to have problems. All in all, don't be discouraged that it isn't working yet! It can take some tweaks to get Freenet running properly. -s _______________________________________________ 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]
