To participate in freenet alphatest you need following : **sun's jre or jdk. **
Setting up a 0.7 node:
To set up a node you need do following steps:
2) Start the node with command:
Unixes:
java -client -Xdebug -
Xmx 128 M -cp freenet-ext.jar:freenet-cvs-snapshot.jar freenet.node.Node <port> [<ip_or_dynamicdns_adress>] [<bandwidth limit>]
Windows:
java -
Xmx 128 M -cp freenet-ext.jar;freenet-cvs-snapshot.jar freenet.node.Node <port> [<ip_or_dynamicdns_adress>] [<bandwidth limit>]
Note for dummies: be sure to start the command in the right folder; so you either adapt the freenet.Node.node part, or you make sure you download the jar (etc) into a freenet/node/node folder. To start the command, klick on 'start', 'run', type 'cmd', klick 'ok' and then copy paste the above command.
If you keep having trouble (Java-exeptions), check your commandline and under what folder you try to start it, or try reloading the jar/snapshot (might be corrupted when d/l). If you still have trouble connecting, or are looking for references to link your node to (it's a
Darknet, after all), go to IRC, IRC server: irc.freenode.net, chan #freenet. Also, be sure to have the latest jar; older versions are often incompatible.
(in the future you will always need to start the node with same port )
(the bandwidth limit is in big packets per second, which are around 1200 bytes, the default is 15, you do need to specify IP to use this)
3) open or forward that udp <port> in your firewall or nat if you can
4) give your node a name (type into node's interface):
NAME:<your new node's name>
5) now you need to exchange ID's to get connected to the network:
a) type STATUS and press ENTER
Copy and paste into IRC these lines:
physical.udp=83.196.11.200:3000
identity=cfc89ce4d9b06f43040a0e4d08b159fedb8c3c7cb7894623afd5e5fd3a480afd
myName=hrm
location=0.816079058182507
testnetPort=4000
testnet=true
version=Fred,0.7,1.0,297
End
(this is a nodes ID)
6) Open or forward the tcp port "testnetPort"
Tip:
If you are on a dynamic ip adress but using dyndns or similar services then you can replace the physical.udp line with
physical.udp=spaetz.dyndns.org:8889
then node will save your domain name and not the ip adress which will change.
b) type CONNECT:
Hit enter and then copy and paste the ID of the node you want to connect to.
You should get response from the node that ID was added.
(to make nodes connected to each other both nodes must have added themselves to each other)
c) type STATUS again, you should now see your new added node/nodes and their state, if
you're lucky you will see something like this:
CONNECTED 24.30.37.118:11999 Dalm 0.9093123123143807 Fred,0.7,1.0,232 bias=1.0 reqs: pRO=1.0 (h=2) ins: pRO=0.0 (h=127)
And now you can participate in the test.
Please note:
Always use the most recent version.
I wish you Happy Testing :)
