behind router: amule vs emule
« on: February 21, 2009, 06:28:03 PM »
Why emule in windows can work so easily through a router and in Linux we have to do a lot of  "ports" things to get amule work?

I don't quite understand. (I mean it in a nice way.)

Probably UPnP. It's available for aMule too.
Redirecting ports is the better solution however.

kindlychung,

Stu is right, this is probably related to UPnP. Did you try to enable UPnP in aMule and in your router? I guess it is enabled in your router, otherwise eMule would not work.

Cheers!

No, I think this has nothing to do with UPnP, because under the same configuration, emule works quite normally in windows, though the speed is not very fast, at least it is downloading, but amule in linux just doesn't work.

The thing is, we have 2 laptops behind a router, and the router is behind another router, I have rights to configure the first one but not the other.

Nobody can help you if you don't provide more information.

Why would you think that?

Because  I have enabled UPnP in amule, the speed were extremely slow (below 10KB/s), while hundreds of resources were hanging out there.
On the windows platform, emule can get 300KB/s here.

Please, enable "UPnP debug" in preferences and post the log.
