all was fine before my Mac OS X updated to 10.4.8. After that, I found the aMule's UDP port has been changed. And every time I change the UDP port to 4664, restart the aMule as it asked, it will automatically change to another random number......

Could anyone help, plz?  ?(

Because you can't set both UDP ports to the same number. Notice the port bellow the TCP.

I set TCP=4661, and UDP=4664~~~

And then restart aMule...

Really sucks, I feel...

try adjusting TCP to 4661 and UDP to 4666

it's work, but shouldn't UDP=TCP+3??? ?(

Rapeman, no.  aMule uses two UDP ports.  One, called the "extended server port", it calculates automatically by adding 3 to the TCP port.  The other, called the "extended client port", you select.  The rule is, of course, that the one you select cannot be the same as the one that's calculated automatically.  That's what Kry was trying to tell you.

I see. But the ID is still low with TCP=4661 and UDP=4666...Why?

@Rapeman (btw, slightly disturbing name imho), see my canned port forwarding reply:

You need to forward the ports that aMule uses in your router. Take a look at http://portforward.com/routers.htm, that page has detailed step-by-step instructions for pretty much every router on the market.

aMule uses three ports (see Preferences->Connection) that need to be forwarded:

• a client TCP port
• a client UDP port (this is the above port +3)
• and an eMule extended UDP port

Also, if you are running any firewall software (e.g., OS X's built-in firewall, which you can control via System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall) on your computer, you need to open the above ports there as well.

You can use the connection tester to check whether the client TCP port can be reached from the outside, that is, whether it is forwarded properly in your router and not blocked by any firewall software.

Good luck. :)
