Hi maira!
Am I right that you connect to the internet using your electricity line? If not, how do you connect?
About the problem: Most probably there's a firewall or missing port forwarding the reason. IIRC should the Mac firewall be disabled by default, but you should check it anyway and open the ports 4662TCP and 4665+4672UDP. [standard ports]. Should you own a router, you have to forward the ports to your mac. In order to do this you have to set a static IP for your router and forward the needed ports (see above) to this ip.
Should none of this be the case it's your internet service provider's fault and you can't do anything but trying to use eMule 0.47c with Protocol Obfuscation on a virtual windows machine (using parallel desktop or similar). I hope you're lucky.

Maybe you should first try to manually download a server.met file. See here (http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?postid=63282#post63282).
Here are also some instructions for port forwarding, in case you need them:
You need to forward the ports that aMule uses in your router. Take a look at http://portforward.com/routers.htm, that page has detailed step-by-step instructions for pretty much every router on the market.
aMule uses three ports (see Preferences->Connection) that need to be forwarded:
- a client TCP port
- a client UDP port (this is the above port +3)
- and an eMule extended UDP port
Also, if you are running any firewall software (e.g., OS X's built-in firewall, which you can control via System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall) on your computer, you need to open the above ports there as well.
You can use the connection tester (http://www.amule.org/testport.php) to check whether the client TCP port can be reached from the outside, that is, whether it is forwarded properly in your router and not blocked by any firewall software.
Good luck. :)
