Many moons ago I was all in the green with a hi-ID and KAD connected, working great. Then all of a sudden it all changed: Low-ID, KAD firewalled, or disconnected. I tried everything under the sun and earth, nothing worked. I did not try this: unselect ' use protocol obfuscation for outgoing connections'. ( Don't know what it really is)
I was using a Netgear 8 port switch on my network as there were 2 computers and VOIP connected to the internet. One day to try to reconfigure the network I pulled out of the relic closet my old Farallon Hub, hooked it up, and removed the switch. It didn't do what I wanted it to do on the network, but when I, for shits & giggles, tried to see what it did to Amule, I instantly got all in the green, a Hi-ID, and KAD connected.
The switch should not have caused a problem, It hadn't originally, it only distributes the signal to several outgoing ports, just s a hub does. But something happened somewhere that it didn't like what was going on. Needless to say the switch is now in the relic box. So people may wish to try other pieces of hardware on occasion if all else seems correct. Return policies are great. hehehe
