Title: How to get a high ID in aMule
Post by: corbierre on March 13, 2009, 11:25:14 PM

I will preface this by letting you know I had never heard of eMule, eDonkey, eHorse etc. before yesterday - so I am not exactly up to speed with the technical side of the interweb.

I have however, downloaded aMule and I'm running it on my mac with osX.5.6 through a Netgear wireless router and I have a low ID that i would like to get rid of. To do so I am being told lots of stuff about ED2K, ports, TCPs and clients and the only thing I know about "clients" is that they usually don't pay their bills.

Is there any foolproof step by step guide for me to enable these mysterious ports or whatever it is I have to do?

BTW I'm not behind afirewall and in my system preferences my firewall is set to "allow all incoming connections"

Cheers,

Corbierre

Find your router at http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm , skip the advertisement and click on eMule. That explains how to do it for eMule, for aMule it's very similar.

You can also try to enable UPnP in your router and your aMule. Then you don't have to worry about the ports.
