hi Matthew Toseland! i tryed at another home and another computer, and it worked just fine! it was also behind a NAT (or something like that - what is NAT anyway?), in fact a computer running BBIagent linux router program from a floppy disk. i checked the IP address of my network as seen from the internet (WAN interface IP address(?)), and my computer's IP, and set freenet.ini ipaddress= to the right value, and poked a whole in the firewall to forward my listenport to my computer, and in 1 minute Frost could see a lot of messages and i could even open some pages (Freedom Engine etc.). i had a lot of inbound/outbound connections, some of them transferring.
the bottom line is: i'm now sure that there's something fucked up with my configuration here. i did set port forwarding and edited freenet.ini to my network's external IP address just the same way as @ home. the router is an X-micro ethernet/wifi router, whereas @ home i have the BBIagent machine, but both have this port forward feature. here i had no outbound/inbound connections, just a single one and even that was always idle. any ideas? maxigas I-X Horizon Research Institute | Horizont Kutato Intezet http://hi.zpok.hu/ Matthew Toseland - Friday, March 11, 2005, 5:52:21 PM, ###: MT> Go to Advanced mode on the Web Interface, then to Open Connections.
