OK. I've downloaded aMule 2.2.6 and
1 Added aMule to applications in System Preferences/Security Settingss/Firewall using the + button after deleting the settings for aMule 2.2.5
2 In aMule/Preferences/Connection set the Standard client TCP and UDP and the extended server requests (TCP+3) Ports
3 Checked Enable UPnP TCP Port (with the same port number as the Standard client TCP Port
4 Gone into my router on 192.168.1.1 and set
a) NAT - Virtual Servers Setup and set the same Port numbers as 2 above (with the only doubt being whether the Server IP address should be the router address ie 192.168.1.1 or the computer's address ie 192.168.1.11 (help please?)
b) NAT - port forwarding with the same External Port Start and End numbers for both TCP and UDP protocols as 2 above
c) NAT - port triggering with the same Trigger and Open Protocol and Port Range numbers as 2 above
I am still getting a Low-ID, firewalled KAD and a Universal Plug and Play error which reads like this:
2011-02-26 14:28:53: Universal Plug and Play: error(UPNP_DISCOVERY_ADVERTISEMENT_ALIVE): Error retrieving device description from

I am at a loss as to what to do next. I had the same problem years ago when first installing a much earlier version of aMule on the old PPC G5 iMac, but cannot remember how I solved it. I have a feeling it just solved itself after weeks of frustration and my doing nothing. But is there nothing I can do to be a bit more proactive this time? Grateful for any advice offered. Thanks.
