How do you travese the NAT-GW. We cannot assume we have controll over the gateway (IP-relay) or that software is even installable on it (fred on gw). The relay node must be available on the outside/internet. As I mentioned earlier today, I am think about persistant connections initiated from the inside of the GW. > To an Internal node on the private network, the outside world looks like it > has > one IP address, and many Node ID's.

Many time you can't connect to the outside address of the GW from the inside, stupid but true. The inside nodes must be "seeded" with the other node on the same network and connect to it directly for this to work. > That said, gateways really suck. True, but we have not always the freedom to choose. regards, -- G?ran Thyni _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
