Hi,
before 5 days i made system update (using Debian Sid) after that i connect only with lowID?! I don't now why i`m not using iptables , tried to change the ports from default to something else (5000, 5003) but the same , tried with root rights the same. I`m using aMule from about one year and don`t have such a problem.Can any one help me with that, with some advise, where is the problem? Is it with some debian packages, or something else  ?
Using amule 2.0.0.rc3

Hi Ivanski,
Just to be sure, try the following as root:
iptables -L

if something different than that appears:


Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

You have iptables. A quick solution would be in the case

iptables -F

But that would leave your box without firewall at all. You could also:

# This is the TCP Port
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT
# The next port is TCP+3
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 4665 -j ACCEPT
# This is the UDP port
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 4672 -j ACCEPT

To keep current setings.
Cheers!

iptables -L  - returns:
bash: iptables: command not found

So you don't have iptables. Might be some other firewall around. Strange, I don't think Debian even configures any firewall on it's own. Are you connecting from a LAN?

Ivanski,

The lowID means that the server cannot reach you. Do you use DHCP? Are you sure your IP is a valid one, not a fake like 192.168.xx.xx or 10.xx.xx.xx? Maybe your ISP has blocked the default ports, but you said you have already changed them and same result. Man, that one is hard... You certainly tried to change servers, right? If all of them LowID you, there is certainly a problem on the return link. Either your IP is fake or ISP is firewalling/nating you.

Cheers.

Hi,

Yes it`s strange, i`m using aMule more than one year and never have that problem maby some time i received lowid but  when i restart amule it is fixed but now always i connect with lowid.Yes i connect through DHCP but i think that my IP is real it`s 213.130.x.x
I tried only with 5000,5003 ports maybe i have to tried with some else ports ?!
I checked only 2-3 servers and they all give me lowid i`ll check with more and let you now what happen
I will try with my wife`s computer it is with winxp os, i will install mule and will check what will happen, if i received lowid on that comp that will be from my ISP

[ivanski]

I had tried eMule on may wife`s computer and their is the same lowID, now i`m sure that the problem is with my ISP, thanks for your help  and sorry for bothering you!
If i tried some other port will this help?And which exactly have to be this ports?

[Jacobo221]

Just try several ports. Rare ones. For example, 6123 or 7854 (whatever over 1024) to see if that helps you walking around your ISP 's block.
Not much to do if th ISP is blocking p2p connections. Calling them will end in an aswer similar to "don't use that. it's used to be used for illegal adquisition of copyrighted stuff" :-/
Greetings!

You might try a port being used by several games, e.g. 25600. I don't think you provider blocks i-net gaming ports...

I used this TCP:25600 UDP : 25603 , and that did the trick    
Thanks a lot lads for you help
