Yes, nothing that I know of can use port 0 either. I was guessing that port 0, wherever it was seen, might represent the absence of a specified listenPort. If no listenPort is specified the node selects one for you at random (from a certain range). In fact, I do that with one of my transient nodes I play with so every time I start it, I automatically get a new datastore (and identity) (assuming that the port that the node has chosen to use hasn't been used before). Anyway, I still don't know where Thad Eckard saw port number 0 to ask about it. I can only guess what it might mean. >_______________________________________________ >Chat mailing list >Chat at freenetproject.org >http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
