Really people, can we take the advocacy to chat or private email? Oh and
btw, the number of nodes on freenet is ~ 4000-16000.

Thank you ! You summed up rather nicely what I was trying to get across.
This is off-topic, but illustrates some attitudes around here that are not
helpful for a Freenet Support list.

If you are just using NIS and connecting directly to the DSL modem/cable
modem, then you just need to tell NIS to allow incoming connections on
the listenPort... you probably don't need to set ipAddress. And if you
do, on a dynamic DNS system, it probably would be a bad idea anyway.

I would respond to this, but this is DEFINITELY getting off-topic.
Please take distribution/OS advocacy to chat.

Good point. Personally I've never used Norton even on a Windows
machine.. maybe somebody here has.

Because the solution he offered was actually reasonably practical. For a
lot of people anyway. Maybe not trivial but certainly not hard, and
probably not expensive. However we are straying dangerously close to
advocacy here...

Point taken. But Linux kernel vs Norton userspace? About the third

I don't use, and people get denied anyway, with no special firewall.
