Hi
I get a low id in amule and it says KAD is firewalled.
I have forwarded port 4662, 4665 and 4672 on my linksys wrt54g router.
I have also allowed inbound traffic from port 4662-4672 in firestarter. which also have permissive outbound traffic.

strange thing is. typing route -n i get this:
Destination_____Gateway_____Genmask_______Flags Metric Ref_____Use Iface
xxx.xx.x.0______0.0.0.0_______255.255.255.0__U____ 0_____0______0___eth0
0.0.0.0_________xxx.xx.100____0.0.0.0_______UG____ 0____0_______0___eth0

The gateway is correct. but i have set up my network like this:
DHCP:
IP._______xxx.xx.x.130
subnet.___255.255.255.0
gateway._xxx.xx.x.100

Shouldnt the first destination equal my static ip, that is: xxx.xx.x.130?

What else could cause my low id - i think i have setup everything correct.

Thank you
Carsten

PS: sorry for the confusing layout

No, you didn't do everything right! Because you're lowid!

I didn't read your post, actually. But I didn't like the title. So!

[falkenberg]

well... rude is correct.
anyway. the point is - i think i did everything right. And hopefully my post should help people to help me find the place where i went wrong.

[Kry]

Heh. Probably.

[falkenberg]

well. Have you read my thread. Can you see the problem. Howcome "Route -n" says xxx.xx.x.0 instead of xxx.xx.x.130 ?

And is this the problem. Azureus has no problem with the forwarded ports i have set up for it. Emule works fine on my windows partition.

Don't you think that, if I knew the problem or the solution, I would have replied already? Wait till someone with the needed knowledge about *your router and/or firewall* helps you, as it's no aMule problem, and I don't use firestarter or have a router.

Hence my lack of help. Let's hope someone pops up.

falkenberg,

Your route table is perfectly correct. I believe you are not interpreting the routing table correctly. See, the first entry, together with the netmask, means that to reach network xxx.xx.x.0 you need no gateway, just throw the packet to eth0. To reach machine xxx.xx.x.130, in first place, you do not need to go through a routing table, because it is a local address. But for any address, you should mask it with the bits of the netmask and compare with the bits of the local address masked with the netmask. If they are equal, you send it to the corresponding network route. If they are different, then you do not know how to route it (at least with your routes), so you send it to your network gateway (the second route).

Quoting lfroen, TCP/IP ilustrated is probably a good reading if you are interested.

Regarding your problem with aMule, the first thing to try is to disable all firewall and if possible, connect your computer directly to the cable modem, just for a test. Try that and see if you get a low id or kad firewalled. If that is the case, the problem is not related to your router/firewall. If it works fine, then we can go on and check other stuff.

BTW, what is firestarter? Is it a gui for iptables? If yes, please post your "iptables -n -L", if there is no security concern.

Cheers!
