Hi can anyone help., Ive recently just upgraded to Osx Tiger running on one of the new core duo Imacs, Ive installed the new universal binary Amule 2.1.1, which on open shows a slightly out of whack server connection screen, when I go to connect or add servers to the blank listing Amule locks up just hangs in space as if Ive not even clicked. Im using the http that it defaulted to which is http://ocbmaurice.dyns.net/pl/slist.pl?download/server-best.met, however Ive also tried the version that worked on my old G4Imac (also running tiger), which was http://www.svr1000.com/azz/server.met (and checked all my old settings within Amule) this option does give me a listing of servers, but again wont connect.
Can anyone help, please as its driving me nuts trying to figure out whats wrong.
Thank you
;(

have you checked the sticky thread in the macos forum with the hostname? maybe this helps
also please use the latest version of aMule since in the server communication some things changed so old amule might not work anymore
-
thank you for your quick reply, I'll give that a go - let you know if it helps :-)
-
do you have any other ideas? Im a little lost as to what to try next.
-
how do you connect to the internet?
do you have a router? have you dont portforwarding and forwared the ports amule uses to your mac pc?
do you have some firewall runnning?
-
I connect through ethernet / airport, I dont know about the firewall (I think so), and how do I check port forwarding etc?! sorry Im not great on the system side of things
-
so when you use wlan you have to have some router to connect to right?
in your router manuall there should be an example of portforwarding, often also called NAT, or virtuell server
most often they explain it with webservers so tcp and port 80.
check your manual for that and adjust this port 80 and tcp to your amule ports
default for amule is
4662 tcp
4665 udp
4672 udp
-
Could be an access point like mine (no router)
-
Sorry (you must think Im thick)
Whats wlan?- I dont see any reference to wlan on my settings, whats a router? (I connect through Ethernet ASDN is this it?) although the settings on that are ones that are copied from my G4Imac, which had a fully working version of Amule on with no problems.
Confused?
-
I dont have a manual for my ethernet (if this is a router) was given to me by a friend, all its settings worked fine on my last Mac (G4), and had no probs connection.
I'll check all my settings this evening for anything that looks like portforwarding, NAT, or virtuell server.
Fingers crossed :-)
thanks

Hi just checked all my ethernet settings and I cant see anything like what you have mentioned, no port forwarding etc.
my settings are
Builtin Ethernet
Configure IPv4 - Using DHCP
IP address --------
Subnet Mask ---.---.---.---
Router 86.29.30.175 (is this what Id change? or would this affect my internet settings)
DNS Servers - blank
Search domains - blank
IPv6 address fe80:---0:0000:0000:0000:000 blah etc.
Does any of this look like it might need changing to you?
Thanks
-
hmm ok the router looks like a offical IP address, so you should have one aswell...
I know to little about macOS to tell you where to look for your firewall but maybe you can ask google or a friend where the macOS firewall is
another thing: can you post a little of the amule log here when it starts?
does it say : cannot connect to server, or connection timed out? what does it tell in the log
-
Hi,
Theres nobody I can ask as Im the most proficient with setting up a mac out of everyone I know - and the people I work with are all pc based. Ive checked on google and set up an allowance to accept the amule ports in the firewall settings, which werent set, and restarted, but still not joy - getting axactly the same message.
Heres the amule connection log - no matter which server I try I get the same message:
2006-05-12 19:31:15: Servers: Trying to connect
2006-05-12 19:31:15: Connecting to Byte Devils (194.213.0.30 - 194.213.0.30:25)
2006-05-12 19:31:15: Connected to Byte Devils (194.213.0.30:3306)
2006-05-12 19:31:15: Lost connection to Byte Devils (194.213.0.30:3306)
2006-05-12 19:31:15: Connection lost
maybe I should just wait for a software update and hope for the best :-/

Waiting will surelly not work, as I can guaranty that the problem is not in aMule itself. Try to figure out what is going on.
My first suggestion is: with aMule running, try to run this script to see if you are firewalled:
http://www.amule.org/testport.php
My second suggestion is to try to find other servers, preferably a non-fake running server. You will have to google for that. Try to find a good server.met file. I have checked the IP of your Byte Devils, and it matches with the one I have in my server.met. In some cases, when the server is too full, it might happen that it will drop connections like this.
Cheers!

Hi thanks for the reply I ran the script and got the following :
Detailed Error Message
TCP Error 110 Connection refused
Explanation
The connection timed out, meaning the port is being blocked or incorrectly forwarded by a firewall or your computer is turned off :)
Ive check my firewall and Ive got it set to allow access to ED2K on the ports specified in the Amule connection settings. I will try the other suggestion, and let you know how I get on.
Thanks
-
Hi, Ive tried various server met files, and have just spent a couple of hours trying alternative options in my firewall settings, but still the damn thing is not having any of it (I cant see anything that would logically affect why Amule wont connect).
-
Ive just downloaded eDonkey (which oddly enough worked straight away) - so Im happy now, I have an application that performs the task - shame, I preferred Amule - but spent far too long on it now, so I think I'll stick with eDonkey.
Thanks for all your help :-)

So, this is the problem, your aMule is unreachable.

No, you don' t have to try the other suggestion, you have to fix the first problem. From your next messages, I see you installed eDonkey and it worked. I believe your TCP port is in a non-standard port number. A quick look at the console log would tell you the right value.
Cheers!
