Re: [freenet-support] local host
Yeah, I'd realised that if you could provide a list of all the different ports that would be helpful (or is there just too many?). The reason is, the actual port number identifies which applications are communicating (or trying to communicate) with each other. For example, email always uses one specific port number, ftp always uses a different specific port number, etc... that's why I wanted to know what the port numbers are ... - Original Message - From: Robert Greenage [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 12:42 AM Subject: Re: [freenet-support] local host =whatever port is being accessed such as port 1104, 1106 etc. [Original Message] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 6/23/04 9:39:25 AM Subject: Re: [freenet-support] local host Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape and Internet Explorer. I also tried Windows Media Player as an experiment and it happened with that program also. I never allow MP to connect to the internet...I only use it when I am not online. I use Zone alarm as a software firewall and I allow it to show blocked sites every so often as a check to see what is trying to access my pc. This time I kept getting the destination ip 127.0.0.1: port application: firefox.exe for example. Does this answer your question? I think so - so ZoneAlarm is reporting that all of these applications are trying to access port on 127.0.0.1 What is by the way? It is almost always perfectly safe for software to connect to ports on ip 127.0.0.1. A lot of software services are listening on specific ports and one way for applications running on the same computer to communicate with each other is to create connections to 127.0.0.1:SOME PORT Perhaps you changed your Zone Alarm settings when you installed Freenet, and now it is simply reporting more connections than it used to? I think the default settings for Zone Alarm do not bother reporting connections to 127.0.0.1 as that simply means applications on your PC are communicating with each other, and it's usually perfectly safe. d ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Impact and motives? was Re: [freenet-support] Re: RNFs
Okay, impact on Freenet: - Every N hours (6, 12, 24), a German node will lose all its connections. It will then reestablish them, as long as they are not German nodes which are simultaneously broken. QUESTION: are they all recycled at once? Surely not, for obvious reasons. So hopefully it'll just be a matter of reestablishing all the connections. Reconnecting will however take significant time... - When the interruption occurs, all connected nodes will not only lose their connections, but they will also not be able to reconnect. So you are relying on the server reconnecting to the clients. Motives? Presumably there isn't enough demand for static IP addresses for ISPs to compete on it in the basic package... and the minority who do want static IP pay so much that it is worth the extra network administration, hardware, etc, to implement the below and inconvenience the majority by breaking all their TCP connections every 6-24 hours?
