What exactly happened after you typed "java -jar new_installer_offline.jar" ? What error message did you see? What version of Java do you have installed on the Mac? Freenet needs Java 1.5 now, some versions of OS/X might have 1.4? > > Next thing, since I'm on mac-Intel, I tried to install it on the xp pro > side of my computer... > > It downloaded OK, and installed fine (there is already i2p working fine > on this xp), but now, and after few hours, it doesn't seem to be able to > connect to nodes...

This is very strange. If you go to Status and then to "Connections to Strangers", there are no connections? Are there any nodes listed as "disconnected", "busy", "backed off", etc? Can you post your wrapper.log?
