Multiuser aMule?
« on: April 07, 2005, 01:02:10 PM »
Hi everybody! I'm writing here because I'd like to setup a Linux box just to run aMule client 24/7 and have all other computers on my little network access and control it (make searches, add & remove transfers, etc).
Actually I need this because one can't run multiple aMule instances on different computers sharing the same IP address via NAT (ports result "busy").
So I considered taking advantage of the Xwindow system client-server architecture by running just one instance of aMule and broadcasting it all over Xservers on the net; I've found some software to do this (this one), but unfortunately it works just like for conferencing, so it's just broadcasting output without letting users give any input.
Any solution?
Thanks in advance for your help!  :baby:

well what you could do is use normal amule or amuled whatevery you prefer and let it run on your linux box....

then on teh other client you can connect via webserver or remote gui to the linux box and administrate it...

or when you run vnc you can access the complete linux desktop via lan, not only amule

whatever you like, we have wiki pages for some things. for example webserver, and for vnc there is google.
if you still need help just ask :)

Me and by brothers are using exactly what you describe, each runs his own aMule instance on his computer and we all share the same IP via NAT. Just make sure that each aMule uses different ports and configure the router accordingly, it should work.
