[freenet-support] Does Freenet work behind proxy?

[Zaid Sheikh]

Sir,

I am a 2nd year Computer Science student.
I have tried to run freenet multiple times but have not succeeded.
This is probably because I am behind a proxy server ( I cannot access
the internet directly).. I have tried a lot of solutions like
Proxifier, etc but Freenet does not run.
I am studying a course of distributed systems and I would like to know
how Freenet works. I have got the source code but what's the use if I
cannot even start Freenet. Please help.


Details:
Windows XP SP2
Am behinf a proxy server
Error: my Freenet node never starts, always an error occurs ( I cannot
even access the First-Time wizard).

Awaiting a quick reply,
