Title: Questions about UPnP configuration
Post by: GrayFox.i0n on July 01, 2008, 03:46:01 PM

I am giving a look again to the UPnP feature of this version, and i am using Ubuntu 8.10 Server with the latest SVN (1st of July) and latest libupnp (the one that, if you dont have it, wont let you compile it)
I have been chencking my router information, and in the upnp info it says that the UPnP port is 2800.....
I dont get a high ID in amule, but i still can connect via web interface... which means that is doing the web interface port mapping right....
I have this in amule.conf
WebUPnPTCPPort=50001
UPnPTCPPort=50000

Does this have anything to do with this problem? Do you need a backtrace?

Cheers!

For UPnP to work properly, in your local machine firewall software (most likely iptables), you need to open port TCP 50000 on destinations, and port UDP 1900 on destinations. If you open port UDP 1900 on source, thing will be a little more fast. aMule does not need to know the UPnP port of your router, this stuff is negotiated at start via broadcasts and is part of the UPnP protocol.
