hi

i am using amule in a new location with a new router, and have forwarded the tcp and udp ports as with my previous router, and made sure that the settings are the same on the router and in amule (tcp: 4662, udp: 4672). ed2k is working fine but kad is continually firewalled (yellow) or off (red).

do i need to forward additional ports, or is there some other setting i need to change to get this working properly (it worked fine with my previous router)

thanks

nick

Does the connection tester say that everything is ok?

Kad sometimes need a while to realize that it is not firewalled.

[nick_harambee]

it seems to be working OK now, but it was a long wait (several days) for kad to realise it wasn't firewalled.  as far as i can see there isn't a connection tester in the MAC version of amule.  is this right?

thanks

nick

Hi nick!

The connection tester is a website you have to visit, nothing local or platform specific. Click the link in lionel's post above.

sorry guys i did the connection tester and it's not ok at all i have apple macbook i can't connect it says because there is no serveurs to connect to so please if you could hel me out that'll be great thanks

alext,

if the connection tester tells you that you are firewalled, you need to do the following:

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. :)

You should also read the Getting Started Guide. That explains, for instance, how you download a server list and how you connect to ed2k and kad.

thanks for the help but i think i am just not good at that king of thing cause i followed your instructions but when i changed my ip address i couldn't connect my computeur anymore so i don't know if you want to give up on me don't worry i'll understand

[wuischke]

Don't worry, just tell us what's your problem (a bit more specific), so that we can help you. (Or at least try it. )

ok i cant connect to kad so i tried to do what lionel77 told me to do i went to that website to forward ports but i had to have an IP address first so i follwed the instructions and created an ip address but as soon as i registered the ip address i couldn't connect on the internet anymore so i had to cancel the ip address i made. so what can i do? ;(

Since you're not connecting, let's leave concerns about LowID, firewalls, routers, and forwarding ports until after you're able to connect.

ok i have to say that i'm sorry i should have taken the time to read before i said that couldn't connect. anyway now i'm connected but it's really really slow. I did the test to see what kind of Id i have well here is the message i received : Error TCP port is unavailable. Make sure your firewall or router is allowing/forwarding this TCP service port and your ED2K client is running (i.e. aMule, eMule).Detailed Error Message TCP Error 110 Connection refused. i know that i have to change something with my firwall but i just can't seem to figure out what? please show me the way
any hepl form you guys will be more than welcome

thanks
