Title: amulecmd (WinXP) cant connect to amule(Ubuntu8.10) [SOLVED]
Post by: cawgee on December 23, 2008, 01:51:01 AM

Hello.

When I try to click a link on my windows xp machine to add the ed2k download to amule on my ubuntu server machine it stalls at Creating Client...

Here is some more info.

I have recently set up a server based on the how to here : http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/1.  I have the basic server working as described there except I am NOT using the FTP server.
Once I had the server running I installed aMule(2.2.2) through the Synaptic Package Manager. I forwarded the required ports on my router and aMule is able to connect with a HighID. Since I only want the server to handle the actual downloading of files, I selected for it to accept External Connections and provided a password. I then download aMule for windows and installed it. I setup my registry and a batch file as per the wiki. Now when clicking links in windows it added them to aMule running on the server. My next step was to get the aMule-daemon to work. Upon following wiki instructions on how to do this, I got the amuled to work. the web interface also works. Now when I click links in windows amulecmd just stops at Creating Client... and no files are added.  The only thing I remember changing while setting up the daemon was the password. So I tried changing the password in my batch file. no luck. When this didnt work, I uninstalled aMule on both machines and re-installed. Now the windows machine still hangs on creating the client. amulecmd works locally on the server. I am not running aMule Daemon on the server yet, just the GUI.

 Is there some way to see what amulecmd is doing when it is stalling (on winXP)? I think my server is working fine, I have a hunch that there is something wrong with my windows machine.
Do you need more info? If  so let me know and ill gladly post it.

Thanks,
Adam


*** Update***
just downloaded and installed aMule on a vista machine and it was able to connect to aMule running on the Ubuntu server.

Well, I figured it out...
turns out the server was listening on port 4712 and my client was trying to connect on 4711 for some reason.
I figured this out by using netstat -b 5 on my windows machine and trying to create a connection with amulecmd /h myserverIP /P mypassword.
netstat showed which port it was using. Odd how the default ports are different as I re-installed everything. Also, I do not remember changing the port...  :-\
In any case it is working now.  :)
