Hello Freenet Guru's, I've been trying for the last few weeks to get a Freenet node working on Win Xp (SP 2), and although I'm not networking champion, I think I've done everything I should. I've opened up the correct port in my ADSL Modem / Router / Firewall and yet I still can't get anywhere. Even when I switch to Dial up, I still have the same trouble, which is, when I open the Gateway it says Build 5106 and stops at 5%, unless I keep hitting refresh in which I can get it go to 40% before the refresh refuses to have any further effect.
I've got the DNS update service running (non static IP) and have put that in the config file. I've changed the max number of connections, but have since forgotten what I changed it to; it was to a recommendation I read somewhere on the Wiki. I've also tried to download the latest seednode info from http://www.freenetproject.org/snapshots/ and also using the "update Snapshot" program, which downloads the Jaw update fine but times-out every single attempt on the seednode update part. Any attempt to download the seednode update always times-out. No thumbnail images load on the main gateway page either...if that makes sense. I"m no expert so I'm really stuffed for anymore solutions. It doesn't seem to be my router, as even when I use dial up, I still have exactly the same results. I could really use some help, as my problem is probably very obvious to somebody with more networking knowledge than I currently have. I've posted below all the details I think might be useful from the Gateway Page. Thanks heaps in advance to anybody who tries to help.
