"Network error" Freenet is a complex thing to get working, and everything has to be just right for it to run properly. Remember, it is still in test mode, and while the the old, frozen network using build 5106 continues to run, the developers and alpha testers have moved on the next major release. Matthew's advice that you have to let it learn the network and build up its routing tables is true, but your description sounds like you don't have any conections at all. If your Freenet datastore is empty, this is most likely the case, because as soon as you start it up the datastore starts filling, although very slowly at first. Since the usual firewall/proxy problems are ruled out, you should look at the two other usual problems: 1. Obsolete or corrupted seednodes file. 2. Your build is too old to join the network. You should have 5106. I haven't run it for myself some time, but I do read all the list messages and the factors Matthew and I have mentioned account for most of the problems new users encounter. BTW, I'll probably rejoin fairly soon, if I can dig up a suitable machine--right now everything is in use. I'm curious to see how .7 will run. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
