Yes, and in that case the answer is to realize that your circumstances do not allow you to do what you want to do. Either live with that, or change your circumstances. If you do not have access to a 'real' routable IP address, (at least one), you cannot run a usefull Freenet node. Sorry, that's just the way it is. If you have access to a machine that has a real network connection, even on a different network, and can establish a tunnel through whatever firewall/nat/ filter garbage you have between you and the internet via GRE or IPSEC or HTTP tunneling or whatever then you can do as I described. The usefullness of that is marignal. The real solution is if you want to be on the "Internet", then you need a real "Internet" connection. Just about everyone in Europe, North America, and much of the Asia Pacific region can get such a connection if they want it bad enough.
