I think the error message quoted above is actually being produced while Freenet is processing the seednodes.ref file, which contains a list of node refs (public keys) for *other* nodes. One or more of the node refs in that file is probably corrupted, which causes Freenet to ignore it, and to produce that error message. If I'm right, then we can safely ignore the message. > Truthfully, I'm not sure what it means.

The file myOwn.ref is created by the Windows installer as a convenience for people who want to share their node reference with others. That file is not read by Freenet at all. The node's private key is in the node_XXXXX file. That is the file that Freenet reads upon startup. The myOwn.ref file is basically the public key which matches it. > If you keep getting this kind of error AND your node > doesn't start working after you've tried the above, you may want to consider > DELETING the myOwn.ref file WHILE YOUR NODE IS TURNED OFF.

Also, I'm pretty sure that Freenet will *not* re-create that file automatically simply by being executed. You'd have to use the --export switch: Command-line switches --------------------- -h|--help prints this help message --system prints JVM properties -v|--version prints out version info --manual prints a manual in HTML -x|--export <file>|- exports a signed NodeReference -s|--seed <file>|- seeds routing table with refs -c|--config <file> generates or updates config file -p|--paramFile <file> path to a config file in a non-default location If you just install Freenet's jar files on a Unix box and set it up according to the readme files, you don't get a myOwn.ref file. You have to run "CLASSPATH=mumble java freenet.node.Main --export myOwn.ref" to get one. The Windows installer does that for you. -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
