Leopard, Ipfilters
« on: April 28, 2008, 05:56:16 PM »

I hope I'm not repeating any post, but as long as I searched, I didn’t find anything related to my problem.
First of all, I must apologize for my English, I’m Portuguese, and I may say something senseless or kinda weird. I’m also a “first-timer” concerning this type of software (Mac and aMule).
About my little problem: I’m using aMule SVN (I’m n0t sure if this is the correct description of the version) and I want to add the ipfilter.dat file to my aMule,  so I can use my national traffic. While I was navigating, searching for solutions, I found several solutions, but all of them suggested to add the ipfilter.dat (that I already downloaded) to the ~/.aMule/ file, but, when I use the Terminal Application and write this directory, it says me that is doesn’t exists… So, this is my question: how do I create, or in case it already exists, how do I find the directory so I can add the .dat file?
I hope someone can help me.

Library -> Application Support -> aMule

Put the ipfilter.dat in the aMule folder

Then go to aMule preferences -> Security -> check Enable IP-Filtering -> Reload List

I don't have the aMule folder in the Application Support folder, am I supposed to create one? Cause I did create and nothing happens... When I'm about to click in "Reload List" a small yellow square appears with the following sentence: “Reload the list of IPs to filter from the ~/.aMule/ipfilter.dat”,  and I have a question about it, maybe you can answer me, the question is: why can’t I create a folder named “.aMule”? When I try it says something like “.folder is reserved to the system”

Thank you very much for the answer.

Nothing happens, the aMule folder in the Library folder isn't created, and it continues to say that the source for the ipfilter is ~/.aMule/ ...

I'm starting to think that it doesn't really have a solution, until a version 100% compatible with Leopard is created.

I may have uninstall aMule application in a wrong way, but I just drag it to the recycle bin...

I've just found an option that says: "Use system-wide ipfiltef.dat if available", I clicked it, can this be (finally) the solution? I've changed the ipfilter.dat to the aMule directory, is that fine?

Thank you for your patience.
