I haven't done this, but I'm pretty sure the procedure would be as follows : - Install freenet but don't download a seednodes.ref, or delete it - Start it so a node identity is generated (a file named "node" in the freenet directory) then stop it again - Make a new local refs file for the nodes on your LAN. This is simply all the contents of the various "node" files concatenated together, without blank lines (the last line of an identity is "End" which acts as a delimiter.) - Name it seednodes.ref and put in each nodes freenet directory, start them up and check after a while in "open connections" that they are in fact only connecting to each other. Depending on deployment issues you may find it more convenient to access the noderefs over the LAN : http://IP-ADDRESS-HERE/servlet/nodestatus/myref.txt However, to do this you will need to (temporarily) have mainport.allowedHosts in each node's freenet.conf set to allow access from all LAN hosts, e.g. "mainport.allowedHosts=127.0.0.0/8,192.168.1.0/24".
