Firewalled,uPnP,amule
« on: January 25, 2015, 10:05:27 AM »

Where should I look for error in settings?
I read in amule log that uPNp is applyed and working.
As far as I know portmapping are applyed when using uPnP.
What order to restart computer/router ?
Now I am using Netgear cg3700 instead of Huawei router.

Sorry! I got error while using UPnP "SDK  error :
Unknown Error -204"

In that case you should manually set port forwarding in your router and disable UPnP in aMule.

Thank you.
This link should make me understand more about portforwarding.
Unfortunately I use Mac so I can't use exe-files.Perhaps I
can find a similar program for Mac.
If I understand right I must have a static ip-adress  to
avoid  being firewalled.

I don't quite understand what you're talking about.

You have to have a static IP address if you're forwarding your ports manually. That is because you have to tell which IP you're forwarding that port to, and that is impossible if your IP changes randomly. But note, that you don't need a global static IP, you only have to tell your router to assign always the same local IP address to your box (static local IP).

In practice, whenever another client wants to connect to you, it will make a request to your global IP address - which actually is your router. By default, your router doesn't know what to do with that request and rejects it. Well, unless the requested port is forwarded. In this case your router will forward the request on its LAN to the IP specified in the port-forward entry - which should be your box, and now that will be able to handle the request.

Thank you for you patience for trying to make me understand.
Now it seems to be working.
I downloaded UPnP Port Mapper from SourceForge.
I have a Mac-computer so I can't open exe-files.The program
you suggested could not be used.

I did not suggest any programs, I just pointed you to a tutorial how you can set up port-forwarding in your router.

Now it seems to be working.
Glad to hear that.
