I wasn't always like this, but recently I keep getting a low id and Kad stays firewalled. I have opened ports 4661, 4662, 4711, 4712, 4672 and 4665, but to no avail. There are no problems with Bittorrent or other P2P apps.
Does anybody have an idea?
OS X 10.4.10, aMule-Mac.CVS.2006-08-10.noDebug_UniversalBinary_TigerOnly.
Edit: Also tried with CVS 2007-02-20. Same result.

Here's what you'll need to do.
If you're behind a firewall, make sure you have the ports you want forwarded. For me, I'm behind a linksys router, so I have the ports for aMule forwarded for TCP and UDP. Once, you have that done then you'll need add aMule into the allowed application in the Mac OS X's firewall, if the firewall is turned on.
Basically, go into 'System Preference, Sharing, Firewall'. Once you click on 'Firewall', on the right hand side you're going to see four radio buttons, 'New, Edit, Delete, and Advanced'. Simply click on 'New'. It will bring up another window.
In this window you'll have 'Port Name, TCP and UDP Port Number(s)'. Click on 'Port Name' and select 'Other' from the list. Now type in the TCP and UDP port number(s) you've selected for aMule, whether you're using the default 4662 and 4672 or something else. Type them in. In the 'Description' you can type in aMule or some other name you choose. Click 'OK' and you're all set to go.
Restart aMule and you should have High ID and Kad will no longer be firewalled.
I hope this helps.

I have basically the same problem. See : aMule having a nervous breakdown? http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=15108.0 below in the topics. I've tried several times what ucandoit suggested to no avail. I almost feel that there is something that I downloaded that is causing this problem in the obscure background.
Tried a port test and these are the results:
Error: TCP port 4662 is unavailable. Make sure your firewall or router is allowing/forwarding this TCP service port and your ED2K client is running (i.e. aMule, eMule).
Detailed Error Message
TCP Error 110 Connection refused
Explanation
The connection timed out, meaning the port is being blocked or incorrectly forwarded by a firewall or your computer is turned off :)
Was running aMule on my computer, Checked my firewall and my router port configurations. Again
