Hi, thanks for you replies.
I've tried the port test, but they look closed from the net (or amule is not responding, or they are bad redirected).
I'm a bit more than a rookie in using computers, but it's true that I'm not a coder nor I have unix knowledge. So please tell me, why is it mindblowing to find a Upnp redirection that targets 192.168.1.1 ?
Thanks
JB

Well, the router is redirecting ports to itself. It just sounds... funny.
I just had the weeeeeeeeeeirdest idea. I wonder if aMule is taking 192.168.1.1 as your IP address, or if it may be taking the actual external IP of your router.
If it's choosing the external interface, the ports will fail to open on the application because the router is redirecting them to itself ( ? ). We do have a config option to force an specific interface.
Please close aMule, then edit amule.conf, and find the line that says:
Address=
and change it to
Address=192.168.1.1
Save the file, then open amule again. It's important that amule is closed while you edit the file, or it'll be overwritten.
If that doesn't work, another option is to do exactly the opposite of that. Disable uPnP in aMule, then go to the router config and remove all forwarded ports if any, and write down your external IP address (let's say a.b.c.d). Then close aMule, and edit amule.conf to change the Address line to:
Address=a.b.c.d
Save the file, and start aMule again. Test ports again.
If neither of those work, then it may be worth checking the debug logs for the application. We'll cross that bridge if we have to.

Hi,
Sorry for this long silence. Many things to do...
Many thanks for these tips. They sounded very uselfull, and I was sure they would work ! Unluckily, I tried both exactly as you mentionned, but none of them worked.
My knowledhe of unix and routers is very limited, and I completely lack new ideas from this point. So if you have some, your help would be greatly appreaciated.
Greetings

Lord Crc:
I just successfully installed amule on my Netgear WL3500L, using TomatoUSB optware.
To open the ports I had to add some script commands manually, as the GUI interface only allows for port forwarding:
--- Code: ---/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT
/usr/sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -p udp --dport 4672 -j ACCEPT
--- End code ---
Here ACCEPT is the target, if you run
--- Code: ---/usr/sbin/iptables -L
--- End code ---
you should be able to figure out the correct target by looking at the first column (I saw someone else had "logaccept" (without the quotes) as target for example).
I added the two lines to the "Firewall script" section and rebooted my router.
Running iptables with -L (as above) to verify that they were added I got
--- Code: ---Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:4672
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:4662
...
--- End code ---
Hope this helps :)

Thanks for help ! I'll try this ASAP, and I'll let you know if it works.
