Hi. I'm getting LowID and have been since setting up. I have forwarded ports etc. and am going to list other deatils below to see if anyone can give me any clues as to whether the problem might lie:

I have Port Forwarding set on my Router:

TCP - 4662 to 4662
UDP - 4665 to 4665


On amule preferences:

TCP port: 4662
Extended UDP: 32138

ED2K is connected but with Low ID

Kad is connected but firewalled

(I'm running Kubuntu Linux with no firewall)


Thanks,
Tim

try setting iptables rule for the tcp and udp port
example

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 4665 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 4672 -j ACCEPT


if you are using a wifi router stop the ethernet card from network



i found this trick yestarday at home of my girlfriend amule connect every time with kad firewalled with this metod kad become ok after 1 minute





bye

Hi morp,

I managed to set the iptables rule ok. Not sure about the ethernet bit. Yes, I am using a wifi router but won't my connection to the Net fail if I stop the ethernet card?

Thanks,
Tim

i use ubuntu  in my case this trick is not necessary
but with the notebook of my girlfriend is the only sistem at the moment found from me to have kad ok




sorry for bad english but i am italian

[morp]

in ubuntu network you found all the network card on your pc
example

ethernet = eth0
wifi card = ath0

etc
etc



you must stop eth0




give a try

Hi morp

>> i use ubuntu in my case this trick is not necessary

I thought Kubunto was the same apart from the KDE / Gnome difference?

>>

example

ethernet = eth0
wifi card = ath0 <<

Only ethernet = eth0 is showing.

Your English is fine!

You in Europe?

Thanks
Tim

Morp is from Italy. (Take a look at this mail address. )

In default setup neither Kubuntu nor Ubuntu (yes, the desktop environment is the only significant difference) do need iptables-rules.

I rather suspect that you've a router or another device which enforces you to forward the ports to your computer. A good spot for help is http://www.portforward.com

Doh!

I've set up port forwarding on my router (Linksys WRT54G), but I'll double check using the instructions at that site.

Should I change the iptables off? Do you know the command?

Many Thanks,

look in kubuntu network
and stop eth0 for using amule
remember for every reboot you must set off eth0 for using amule
and in many case connection with the router was lost
use kwifi to set it on again
and you must insert the 3 iptables rule ( make a script )




i know this may appear complicated but at the moment this is the only metod that i have found



(((ps  the iptables rule are active only for the session in use if you turn off the pc and restart ,the rule you have set are lost if you want for every boot the rule active make a script launched at the boot time  ((( use bum for this )))

Go to this page: http://www.amule.org/testport.php and test your ed2k ports one by one. This will give you instant feedback on whether your router is set up correctly. Double check that it is port-forwarding to the IP number of your computer. It is easy to make a mistake here.

OK, thanks.
