To configure your firewall you need to 1. Let *ALL* outbound traffic from *ALL* local ports pass out through your firewall onto the internet. This is because Freenet sets up connections to external nodes and there's no telling which local port numbers it will be using at any time. This is just the same as allowing outbound traffic from an FTP client and, 2. Let *ONLY* inbound traffic *to your freenet port* pass from the internet thru the firewall onto your computer.
Your freenet port by the way is the one that shows up on the first page of the Configuration utility, or if you don't use that it's the line in freenet.ini called listenPort If your firewall is also a NAT router, you may also need to enable a mode on the firewall called 'virtual server' - this ensures that inbound requests to this port actually get routed to *your* computer - so you may need to enter your PC's IP address into your firewall configuration. If your firewall is just software-based and installed on the same PC as freenet then you don't need to do this step. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dave Hooper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 5:06 PM Subject: Re: [freenet-support] route not found > My freenet.log is huge! over 2 megs.
