The most likely solutions are:

- Did you *both* add each other's node reference? It isn't enough if only one 
adds the reference of the other.

- In case you're using routers / firewalls: Did at least one of you open the 
Freenet Darknet UDP port in your router / firewall? It can be found here:
http://localhost:8888/connectivity/
It says "Darknet FNP". You can also open the "Opennet FNP" port for better 
connectivity to strangers.

- Did you configure the security level "Protection against a stranger 
attacking you over the Internet" to NORMAL or LOW? If it is HIGH or MAXIMUM 
instead, it will only connect to friends, not to strangers. If you don't have 
static IP addresses, this means it could be impossible for Freenet to discover 
the IP address of your single friend, as it requires at least one connection 
to the main network to do so.
The network security level can be seen here:
http://localhost:8888/seclevels/
So you might want to decrease it to NORMAL or LOW.


Sorry for the long delay to answer, we've run out of funds and thus are 
currently only staffed with volunteers. We're running a fundraiser to fix 
that: https://freenetproject.org/
