Hello,
first I want to thanks all the devs for the splendid work done on this ED2K client, I've been using it more than a year on my Fedora box and I can declare myself fully satisfied!
Recently, I setup a WLAN in my house, through a normal wireless router. Suddenly, I discovered that the router NAT/firewall is blocking both the TCP and UDP ports used by aMule. Surfing the web, I discovered that the only way I could get a HighID was setting up NAT rules for port forwarding. Not a big mess, if it wasn't that I need to set a static IP on my pc for that.
Now, this isn't really a problem on my fixed comp, but it is on my laptop: this is not the only WLAN I'm connecting, and all public ones won't allow you to use a static IP and will force you to use dhcp. Useless to say, changing IP settings everytime I swap a WLAN is really annoying.
Since my router also have UPnP support, all this long tale wouldn't have ever happened if also aMule had. And also, c'mon! setting a static IP for port forwarding is such a vintage solution and so uncomfortable in the wireless age!
Other p2p programs I'm using, such as Azureus, work flawlessy with UPnP enabled, and I don't think I'm the only aMule user experiencing this problem (blind guess).
Eventually:
:baby: Oh almighty developers, what about adding UPnP support to aMule and make this poor italian guy still smile to life? Or if that's can't be done, may I know why? I looked around in the Feature request section of the forum but didn't find anything related to UPnP...
-
Upnp is currently being implemented, but I don't know whether it's already working. Try out a current CVS version of aMule.

Sorry folks,
The UPnP implementation in aMule is not working, and it is my fault. I have been too busy with real life the last months. Hopefully, this will be over soon and I will be back to coding.
The code is almost there, it just needs some debugging and testing from my part.
Cheers!

Ahh fine! Thanks for the fast answer!
Good to know it's being implemented (though right in the current CVS it doesn't work...), I hope we'll see it in version 2.2.0.
Phoenix: life always has priority, take all the time you need ;)
Where can I find some up-to-date informations about the current work being done in cvs, so I can avoid other useless requests in the future?

That is the idea.

Basically, there is no such information. The best source is the Changelog, the devs usually update it every time they add something new.
Cheers!

where can the cvs-changelog be found?
