cant connect to any server from Fedora Core 4 behind a router
« on: December 25, 2005, 01:32:03 PM »

Hello.
I use Fedora Core 4 Linux behind a Aztech router and when i start aMule 2.0.3 i cant connect to any server on the server list.
I made a port forwarding to ports tcp:4662, udp:4665 and udp:4672 and http://www.amule.org/testport.php?tcpport=4662 returns "Success" but the aMule icon is grey and the status shows "disconnected".
what must i do to be able to connect?

Port forwarding is fore _reverse_ connection - from server to you. What about regular NAT configuration in your router ?

I am afraid the only thing that can be configured is Port Forwarding.  ?(

Is there a way to check open UDP ports?

edit: eMule runs ok on the same computer but from Windows.  ?(

Code: [Select]
# service iptables status
Firewall is stopped.

well if firewall is stopped thats ok on linux, since you have a "firewall" in your router

about the other thing, do your linux and windows maschine (when they are on the SAME pc) have the SAME ip address?
if yes it should work

if they are seperate maschines anyway, or have different IP address, make sure you change the default ports in AMULE to something differnt, since you cannot forward the SAME ports to TWO different IP address.

and btw in some routers its called NAT in some port-forward, in teh next its virtuell server, but it all means the same thing, so dont worry you should be in the right sectionof the config menu

I went back and assigned the same ip and ports to the two OS on the same pc, not all servers work but i found some that did. so i guess its not a network problem.
thanks stefanero!
thanks lfroen!
