[freenet-support] New with this ... please some help.

2004-01-19 Thread elargonauto

 Hello!

I found a doc about freenet and have been these last days trying
to connect. The program installed without any problem. I installed the
version who comes with Java. After some minutes waiting the rabbit changed
to blue and connected well.

  The seed nodes are the default and the listening port is open and
mapped from the router to my computer. I´m using another open/mapped port
for the proxy just in case ... ( I´ll close it in a future it it doesn´t
affect.)

  The node is in transient mode.

   So, everything seems to go wonderful until it comes the time to
load the web-pages. :)

   I have been trying to load the Freedom Engine and it always says
...

" The network is busy, please try again later.Retrying"

  Sometimes it has loaded a disclaimer ( a text advising about the
contents) but nothing else.

  I have been checking the log  and I have found this ...



   "Jan 19, 2004 6:02:17 PM (freenet.node.Main, main, ERROR):
Skipped bad NodeReference while reading seed nodes

Does it seems that all the nodes are bad? Or only one of them?


   How can I now the number of connections?


   My computer has Windows 98 installed. Is it as bad? i.e. what is
the real difference in the number of connections?.
   Is it possible to make something with W-98 or should I desist
until I install another O/S ?


Do you know if there is a good forum where I can dive for
answers? As I have seen it is not permitted to search in the archives of
this list. I don´t know why, because this way there´s a lot of knowledge
that is being lost.


Thanks.

Can you run a permanent node? Are you firewalled?

Yeah, Windows 98 (without registry hacking) limits the total number of
internet connections to 100 - we can only use 80 or so of these...

I'd guess he has not discovered editing to make it permanent.  That editing
is a bit of a problem for people on Win2K.

The failure on THE has been the case for several weeks.  Item two on the
browsing page is the only one reliable for the last week or two.

 Well, I don´t see the problem in using the notepad to edit the .ini
file. ?¿

 What is item two?

 Yep, I use a router that comes with a built-in firewall, but
the listening port is open and mapped to my computer. So, that shouldn´t be
a problem.

  Right now I would like to make a try before start thinking
about a having permanet node.

   Is that complicated to do? I use my own computer so I don´t have
any problem changing whatever.

Most Win users are not at all accustomed to finding and editing .ini files
because those went out of general use about three Win-generations ago
when Microsoft decided that "those darn users just don't know how to
use our software" and started hiding all the parameters in the registry.
Since I having been around since Osborne sold his hardware
business, I am aware of them.  Still, it took me several tries before I
found that the "%" was a comment marker AND to discover which
of those I needed to remove to avoid being a transient node. (And that 
must be done each and every time that one downloads a new version.)  
It seems that it is prefered we run non-transient, but the default is
nicely 
set up to send us to transient.

Well, "Help," the way they are numbered in the log is rather
unconventional, but
I was thinking of "two" and coming after "one".  Thus, second down on
the list where "Freedom" (if the thumbnail appears) is "one," as first in
a conventionally numbered list.

Hope this helps to clarify.

The default is transient=false. If the default were transient=true, we'd
have MAJOR problems.

   Yep. I writted the ip too. I´m running on transient mode because
I changed the option at the .ini file. I´ll try now with permanent to see
what happen.

Could you tell me where I can see the # of conections ? ( I
guess that is a good way to check that something is going on)

Is it worth to let it two or three hours just "retrying" ?

Do any of these file names relate in any way to freenet ? I have
found them in my
 C:\Windows\Temp folder

 I am running win98se. When I tried to run a virus scan it stopped
at the first of these files . These files appear to have been generated
when I d/l the three seednode reference files.
 
  Any help here with this one?

I very much doubt it. I suppose it might have something to do with the
