Thanks for the info, but there's no proxies set in either of my browsers, nor in the global system preferences, so the reason Freenet isn't working for me, in particular why I can't connect to http://127.0.0.1:8888/wizard (and maybe also why Freenet isn't starting up successfully possibly -- I don't know of anyway to find out whether Freenet is started up or not) is not because of proxy settings I don't think. How can you tell if Freenet is started up or not? If it's not started up then there's no point in me trying to connect to http://127.0.0.1:8888/wizard I don't think. Is that correct; Freenet needs to be started first before attempting to connect to http://127.0.0.1:8888/wizard ? In the Terminal (command line): > 1/tmp>cd /Applications/Freenet > 2/Applications/Freenet>./run.sh start > Starting Freenet 0.7... > 3/Applications/Freenet> Is that a successful Freenet startup? Is that the way to do it -- using the command line on a Mac? What is the "freenet.jar" file? Is that supposed to start up Freenet? Double clicking on that file result in this in a window: > Jar Launcher > The jar file "freenet-stable-lates.jar" couldn't be launched. Check the > Console for possible error messages. That's bad? Seems bad. Freenet is not installed OK maybe? Or there's something incompatible with my set up and Freenet maybe? (Checking Console for possible error messages gives a similar message suggesting you to check the Console). The fact that there is no wizard file anywhere on my machine -- is that a problem or not? (I'm just trying to eliminate possible problems.) Lots of lines like: > WrapperListener_start_runner, NORMAL): The translation for > IPDetectorPluginManager.noConnectivityTitle hasn't been found! please > tell the maintainer. in the "freenet-latest.log" file in the logs folder in the Freenet folder -- bad? Sounds bad but maybe not. Who is the maintainer?! Lets hope the maintainer sees this message. I presume it doesn't matter a jot whether the maintainer whoever or whatever that is doesn't get told. Any answers to just one of those questions would be much appreciated. Mac OS X 10.2.8. Java 1.4.1. Freenet 0.7 installed from the Mac OS X bit on this page <http://freenetproject.org/download.html>. On that page, but under the Unix install not the other installs it says > Java version 1.4.1 and later will work. However, be aware that there > are applet security vulnerabilities in all versions prior to Java 1.5 > update 4. Generally, we recommend using Java 1.5. That statement about Java versions, does that apply to other systems as well as Unix, or is it only applicable to Unix? If only Unix what Java version info is relevant for Mac OS X and Freenet 0.7, and where is that info? > As for the NAT thing, I'm behind a NAT where I can't do port forwarding > (evil ISP) and my 0.7 node works perfectly... well, almost perfectly: I > can't peer to nodes that are also behind a NAT and with no forwarded > ports, but that's not much of a limitation, I can connect to almost all > nodes, as not many of them are NAT'ed and with no forwarded ports, Right so it's probably not the NAT aspect possibly (which I've now found out I am behind). Thanks.
