Cannot connect to any server... connection lost Slackware 10.2
« on: December 15, 2005, 06:45:16 PM »

I installed amule, compiled from source in my slackware 10.2
 It all seemed to work until I started the program. It looses the connection as soon as it gets any. It just doesn't connect to any server. I have updated the servers list but nothing...
 I suspect that is because the ports are closed, but I don't know if that is the problem and how to open these ports! So if someone could give me a hand...

 Here is the prompt:

 ivan@vanya:~$ amule
Initialising aMule
Checking if there is an instance already running...
Loading temp files from /home/ivan/.aMule/Temp.

All PartFiles Loaded.

well whats your network setup?
is the pc you are running amule on connected directly to the inet? or is tehre a router inbetween?

you would have to open port
4665/udp
4662/tcp
4672/udp

for amule to connect properly

also maybe read this guide here:http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Firewall
there are also some commen routers explained

btw: maybe even change the ports in your amule-prefs, since some ISP might simple block them...
