OK, I've finally got my Port Forwarding, Static IP and High ID set up correctly.

BUT....
From the Log:
-- The URL http://download.overnet2000.de/nodes.dat returned: 404 - Error (6)!
-- Failed to download the nodes list.

Kad is still not loading - do I have a typo in the URL? Or is there another magic spell I need to download? 

It still says I am 'Firewalled' as well, even though firewall is NOT enabled on my Mac.

Hi,

this address is not working anymore. Use http://www.emule-inside.net/nodes.dat instead.

But as you are already connected to kad you don't need to download a nodes.dat file.

firewalled is normal, the status will change as soon as you connect successfully to a kad node. Just wait and download something.

Irritable,

I'm a mac-user but  I'm  a step or two behind you in the quest of portforwarding.  Could you bring me up to speed?  For instance, what did you click on the Common ports page?  I'm guessing emule, since amule is not listed there.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Read up on the thread "I need help getting a high ID in aMule"  and just avoid the messages about the Google addressing gobbledeegook.  Most of the viable links and setup info is in there. 

Port forwarding is something you set up with your ISP to match the settings in the program.  My ISP allows me the ability to set routing up myself via a web site, but I did place a customer service call to make sure I was doing it right.

This is false. You do NOT setup port forwarding with your ISP. You set it up in your router, the one belonging to you, so your ISP has nothing to do with that.

My router setup web site is run by my phone company; the software that does it remotely was provided thru my ISP.  Technically YOU are in charge of your own TCP/UDP port number settings, but your ISP may provide a way to do it and can probably walk you through it if needs be.

uh-oh...nope, maybe you are configuring a different thing. I mean: it works this way: you have a router, which connects on one side to your ISP (via cable/DSL modem...whatever) and on the other side it connects to your Computers. So when someone attemtps to connect from the outside to your computer running aMule, it gets to your router. But your router has no clue about which computer is running aMule, so you tell it that all "messages" sent to aMule'r port should be sent to the computer using aMule. That's what port forwarding is more or less. Now, your router belongs to you. Why does your ISP messes with it? I don't get it. Also, you should not need a fixed IP. Just configure your router to assign the same IP address to your PCs by using their MAC address (it can be done on my old netgear RP614, I guess all new routers can do that).

Regards.
