What is the problem you are experiencing? An error message (if
so, which)? Are you uncapable of downloading anything from Freenet?
What? Details, please.
If it is the latter, I would run Frost
(jtcfrost.sourceforge.net) to see if you receive messages. If that is
the case, your node is alive and it will just need time to get
integrated into the network.
In any case, redirecting ports 8888 and 8481 in your router is
a *bad* idea (those ports shouldn't be accesible from the outside).
Only the main listening port should be redirected (64028 in your
case). By the way, that 64028 port is a randomly chosen one, so you
shouldn't disclose it, say, in Frost, if you don't want to compromise
your anonymity.
Kind regards.
