Hello there,
I am attempting to suckle on the allegedly exquisite pleasure of aMule (I'm trying to get the thingy to work properly) and have encountered a problem. After the install and general set up and connecting to a server I cannot download or upload anything. The connection arrows are yellow and red, telling me i have the low i.d. (which is offensive), so I looked for resources on how to get high id.
I was told in many different places to go into the terminal and write:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 4665 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 4672 -j ACCEPT
which is fine and dandy, yet this did not solve my problem. The port numbers are indeed the ones that are in my aMule's preferences, connections tab. I've looked high and low for information that might help me, and I've probably passed by the solution not understanding it, so could anybody please help me out in beginner's language? Thanks!
If it helps solve the problem at all, I'm on a wireless laptop that connects to a BTHomeHub and have firestarter installed on Ubuntu Edgy Eft. I've read numerous posts in these forums about opening ports for bittorrent clients, and tried that for KTorrent (since Azureus has some java problems that seem complicated) which didn't significantly help the download speed -- but I guess that is neither here nor there.
Thanks again for the help, in advance,
Daneil
