Amule trying to connect on port 0 all the time
« on: December 28, 2007, 09:28:00 AM »

Hi there.

I've just installed the amule daemon and amule web on my linux server at home. It is a headless server. I have configured amule to connect using port 45161. I have also downloaded a server.met file with a bunch of servers on port 4661. I have correctly forwarded ports on my external firewall.

I can't connect though, looking at the firewall logs I see this: 38.107.161.46:0. Amule is trying to connect to 38.107.161.46 on port 0. Why is this? It's obviously not working, but why does amule keep trying to connect on port 0?

Thanks!

Maybe if you post the OS version, which firewall, amule version, wxGTK version and similar stuff, we could help.

Regards.

I have exactly the same problem.

When I launch amule, I see that it try to connect servers on port 0. An example :

Amule log :

2008-07-20 14:06:26: Servers: Trying to connect
2008-07-20 14:06:26: Connexion à Donkey University-DU (72.172.89.135 - 72.172.89.135:0)
2008-07-20 14:06:26: Connexion à Donkey University-DU (72.172.89.135:4661) perdue

tcpdump log :

14:06:26.182442 IP 192.168.1.100.45741 > 72.172.89.135.0: S 2191286763:2191286763(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 5034788 0,nop,wscale 6>
14:06:26.376061 IP 72.172.89.135 > 192.168.1.100: ICMP host 72.172.89.135 unreachable - admin prohibited, length 68

I use an mandriva release 2008.1, and aMule 2.1.3 using wxGTK2 v2.8.6 (Unicoded) (OS: Linux)
I have no firewall at all.

I think the problem really come from aMule, which really try to connect the server on port 0 instead 4661.

How can I solve this problem ?
Regards,
Cyril
