Title: Shorewall
Post by: ricardo.david on January 16, 2005, 09:26:36 PM

Guess it is more a Shorewall issue than aMule but after exausting search here it goes: aMule, xMule or mlDonkey just don't work on a linux box with shorewall. Yes, I open 4662 port to the world. Shutting down shorewall and exposing my box, connection goes ok.
Any clues?

Yes. Your shorewall is configurated incorrectly. Google for the answer.

Regards.

hi,

Using the default ports, try these rules...

Code: [Select]

file:[b]/etc/shorewall/rules[/b]
ACCEPT net fw tcp 4662 -
ACCEPT net fw udp 4672 -
ACCEPT fw net tcp 4661,4662 -
ACCEPT fw net udp 4665 -
#ACCEPT net fw tcp 4711 -
#ACCEPT net fw udp 4712 -
And if you want to give external access to amule, just uncomment the last 2 lines

HTH

If I recall correctly, shorewall is bunch of scripts driving iptables. So, please, instead of posting config of shorewall, post actuall iptable configuration it produces. Do it with "iptables -L -v" and you will see what's really happening.
