Since when I've started using Linux (2 months ago) my choice for the eMule network has been aMule and since then I always got a LowID warning, no matter what server I logged in, no matter I disabled firewalling into Ubuntu & my ADSL router (a ZyXEL Prestinge 650H-E1), no matter I NATted all ports into the router for this computer.
If I run eMule from Windows XP everything is fine.
Wth else can I try?
Please don't tell me to do a search 'cause I did it and after 2 months I still haven't found a working solution. ;(
Oh and I have a dynamic Internet IP address.
-
is the xp and ubuntu machine the same computer or a differnet one?
if its the same machine, do they have the same ip address?
ir its not the same, did you setup different ports in e and aMule and natted them to the different pc?
-
Yeah well honestly speaking XP and Ubuntu are on different machines. :P
This is how my LAN looks like:
Router: 192.168.1.1
Ubuntu: 192.168.1.2
XP: 192.168.1.3
aMule (Ubuntu) with Razorback 2: 195.245.244.243:4661
eMule (XP) with Razorback 2: 195.245.244.243:4661
In both aMule and eMule options in the Connection panel I see 4661 for the TCP port and 4672 for the additional UDP port.
In my router in the NAT options I choosed the range "All Ports" <> "All Ports" for both machines.

First of all you need to run amule & emule on different ports. And then you need to explicitely forward the ports used by amule to the machine running amule.
In my router in the NAT options I choosed the range "All Ports" <> "All Ports" for both machines.
I've heard this before and it just doesn't make sense. You can only tell a router to forward incoming packages on port x to ip address y, not to forward it to "all computers". What might happen here is that your router uses UPNP (I've only heard about this, so I might be completely wrong) and emule supports UPNP as far as I know. So emule is able to tell the router what he has to do, amule isn't. You'll have to do it manually.

eMule does not support UPNP, tho some mods do

Why?
I do not run them at the same time otherwise I get banned from the xMule server if I make multiple connections

I've only three fields available:
- Start Port No.
- End Port No.
- IP Address
therefore I suppose I've to insert the Port range 4661-4672 for the IP 192.168.1.2, right?
If yes, I tried that too and I still got LowID for the Ubuntu machine.

Nope, UPnP is disabled in the router due to security reasons. ;)
I forgot to say that I get the same problem with Azureus (Torrent client)
-
you cant forward teh same port to two diffrent ip address taht does not work
cahnge the range completly
xp 4662-4672
ubuntu 5000-5010
and then adjust the port settings in aMule-prferences and restart amule afterwards
-
I set the router and aMule.
aMule tells me now that it cannot connect (timeout).
-
then you did it wrong...dont you have a manual for the router or something?
-
Well, I think I did it right. ?(
Start Port: 5000
End Port: 5010
IP: 192.168.1.2 (Ubuntu)
Start Port: 4662
End Port: 4672
IP: 192.168.1.3 (XP)
Also I choosed "SUA Only" in the NAT options.
-
Wait a second.
I restored back the settings to 4661-4672 in aMule & the router and now I've a HighID! 8o
Well I dunno what happened. but thanks anyway. :baby:
