udp port changing
« on: January 26, 2007, 09:44:03 PM »
hi all & thanks for providing the forum


i have recently started to have a problem where every time i start amule the UDP port changes in the preferences even though i set it manually to 4665

it just picks a random port & connects to it so end up with a low id & i cant just enable every port on my firewall because i may as well just remove the firewall!!

How do i stop this from happening because it has never done this before

Hi tomski!

Very short:
3 ports:
1. TCP
2. UDP port number is TCP port + 3
3. UDP

What happens? You try to set UDP (3.) to the port number which is already occupied by UDP (2.). Thus aMule has to set the port numer for UDP (3.) to something else (free).

Set UDP (3.) to something else, e.g. 4672 and it will work.
