I think that those two nodes in question got different noderefs just because they initially connected to different parts of Freenet and "learned" different parts of it. They probably would start getting same noderefs after sufficient time and use (at least as long as the number of non-transient nodes on Freenet is smaller than rtMaxRefs). > Freenet DOES NOT WORK behind a NAT "firewall" if you do not tunnel (by > port forwarding.) It does not work, period, transient or not. Masquerading NATs do allow transient nodes to work normally, though. > > I still think that some warning/discussion on the freenet-dev list was > > warranted, since I don't normally keep track of the #freenet irc > > channel.

Why? Shouldn't interested individuals be allowed to learn more about the current/future inner workings of Freenet? If you're worried about the signal/noise ratio on #freenet, I doubt that's nothing a few bots and ops cannot solve. And if you want a really high ratio there's nothing stopping you from creating another channel for developers. -- Mika Hirvonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://nightwatch.mine.nu/ _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
