TCP Error 113 Connection refused
« on: March 02, 2005, 10:34:53 PM »

After gettng an arse kicking being swore at and picking up a warning for showing my lack of knowledge with respect to the configuration of amule versus router,  ;(

I did another check in wiki and ran a test on port 4662 and other ports to see if they where open/listening ( It wasn't and was giving message

TCP error 111 connection refused it was suggested that it was probably a firewall / router problem

so I did a search on configuring my router folloed the instructions to the letter using Telnet comands and checked my router configuration which showed that port 4662 was now open so I run wiki again and do another test on the port and I get this  

Error: TCP port 4662 is unavailable. Make sure your firewall or router is allowing/forwarding this TCP service port and your ED2K client is running (i.e. aMule, eMule).
Detailed Error Message
TCP Error 113 Connection refused

Explanation
No info available; this TCP error probably indicates a problem with the networking on your system (i.e. the TCP/IP stack).

Your public address is host81-152-163-116.range81-152.btcentralplus.com (81.152.163.116)

does anyone recognise this problem if you can help that would be nice If not I will have to look at other P2P software. :(

Two things.

One. It was not your lack of knowledge that triggered the warning, it was your claims that you had actually read the documentation we pointed you to, while clearly demonstrating that you in fact had done no such thing. We will gladly try to support the users of our software, but we will not bend over backwards to cater to the willfully ignorant.

And as your new post so sadly demonstrates once again, the words we write apparently fail to trigger any kind of understanding. Had you spent 5 seconds comprehending and following the instructions given to you, had you spent even 5 minutes reading the documents pointed out to you, you would know that you are still hitting your head against the wall.

However, we are luckily in no way required to pour our mental energy into the intellectual equivalents of a black hole, so you will find that we tend to only babysit the users who are able to demonstrate some sort of mental activity. You however, fail to trigger even the slightest alpha-wave.

Thus, unless you can show that you are in fact able to (a) think, (b) read and (c) combine (a) and (b), you will find that we are less than interested in providing anything but the most basic of support, since you have already clearly demonstrated that any such attempts are wasted upon you.

Two. In the words of our beloved leader:
Quote
"Wiki, section "aMule is slow", section "your Fault"

In the hope that you might somehow be able to control you appendages better than mental faculties, here is a direct link to the page in question and thus a chance to prove that you are able to meet the requirements outlined above: aMule is slow

my guess is you did open the ports in the firewall but you didn't forward the ports to your computer. see your router's documentation on how to do this.

btw, this problem is not unique to amule -- pretty much every p2p app requires properly opened and forwarded ports -- so if you want to use a p2p app you have to learn how to do this...

1. I do not wish to be baby sat just treated with a little respect, As I would wish to do with people I am asking for help.
2. It is obvious that I am reading the wiki but also obviously having difficulty understanding the instructions.
3. I would welcome help and support as we all learn in different ways and whilst I am receiving information all I get is Your Fault, I am not suggesting otherwise and would simply ask that reference is not made to mental abilities. I am not thick and feel saddened that the developers of amule should feel the need to round on people with insults when it is quite apparent that all that is needed is a little understanding.

It is suggested that I may not of forwarded the port and I will check this out.

and BTW I do have problems putting the written word into practical processes it's called Dyslexia and it offends me when people automatically shut you out when you have a problem.

If you feel that you cannot support me then fair enough. I ask questions because I wish to learn not because I;m thick. however I am comming to the point where I'm asking myself "Why ask anyone for help" Thanks to the last poster I will check that area out.

Then why not simply write something along the lines of "I suffer from Dyslexia, so could you please point out the releveant portion of the documentation.", since we lack this information, we are left thinking that you are either stupid or not trying. The relevant portion from the "aMule is slow"-page is this:
Quote
* Some ISPs block or limit connections to the standard eD2k ports. Try changing the port in "Preferences"->"Connections" to some other values.
* Your firewall may be blocking some ports/protocols used by aMule (again, see Low ID)

Nono, wait, I have friends with Dyslexia and when I tell them to read something, THEY READ IT, they're not mentally incapable, just they find it harder to write/read sometimes.  Can't be that hard to notice a 'Your ISP might block dthe default ports, change them' on the wiki, and OF COURSE can't be hard AT ALL to notice a "CHANGE THE FUCKIN DEFAULT PORTS" on the other thread. Sad you read the 'FUCKIN' but not the 'CHANGE THE DEFAULT PORTS'. Sorry, dyslexia doesn't work that way, I don't buy it.

And Xaignar was not insulting - was defending himself. By having to tell you the SAME things over and over again, we feel like if someone is making fun of us.

Don't shield lack of willing to do a little mental processing in dyslexia. As Ben Elton wrote in "Popcorn", people ony wants to blame on everything except themselves. Noone faces their responsabilities.

Dear Kry  thought I had a problem but it seems that you are incapable of talking without swearing but hey they do say it is the mentally inept who have to resort to swearing I havn't swore at you but tried to clarify areas however as you seem unable to converce with someone without resulting to swearing I would rather struggle through and sort it myself. Why you or anyone else on here should feel that you have the right to insult people you've never met because they are having a little difficulty picking up your clues is a complete mystery to me and why you should feel you are being made fun of is beyond me but if you also think that swearing and insulting people who don't have the same ability to pick things up as easily as you is acceptable then god help the rest of us.

Mind you you will probably only insult me again then give me another warning, however what is that going to achieve????? Nothing. If you people have nothing constructive to say then I might as well stop asking for help ( Now thats a contridiction isn't that what the forum is for????)

Please don't swear at me I don't deserve it. X(

BTW I did CHANGE THE FUCKIN DEFAULT PORTS"  but it didn't work I may possbly have changed it to the wrong port ( I don't know Yet ) OK

I ain't blaming anyone or anything just getting fed up with being swore at by you.

I have been told to check to see if port forwarding has been done so I have spent time today checking this process out for my router  and will get to that as I understand it better I have problems putting written instructions into practical process and find it easier when I'm shown what to do,  as that cannot happen here I have to read things over and over again that is how my dislexia affects me it's not that I can't read or am thick or lazy if I was I wouldn't be using Linux but would stick with MS,  it is just difficult to put what I am reading into practice

I am not here to argue with people if i'm not sure about something I will ask for more specific instructions. As I did when I was trying to set up a link to amule on my desktop and when I asked about previewing. If people have a problem with me asking for clearer instructions  then I can only apologise.

Oh, PLEASE. Stop the swearing talk, and while you're at it, stop giving hints that I'm mentally inept, or we'll face more problems than a little flamewar.

Uh, what? Pointing you to the docs that say: "do this, push that button, enter this value" is 'clues'? And, btw, telling you to change the default port about 5 times, something you never did is a 'clue'?

I repeat: is not a matter of swearing, I only did that once, and it was either that or closing the thread, sadly, you forced me to close it.

We have a lot of constructive things to say. We said a lot of constructive things. Sadly, you force us toi go a level down everytime you post.

NO YOU DID NOT and if you did, next time SAY YOU DID instead of CLEARLY STATING YOU DID NOT.

After loads of problems trying to get things running ok I finaly hit on the possibility that a tcp error may be causing my problems. So I contacted my ISP and after trying to sort out the problems with port forwarding the problem was Identified as a tcp system error. So when I throw my new sata drive in at the end of the week I will hopefully have the problem sorted.

So much for profesionals at the technical help desk my ISP!

I have now sorted the problem I had to set a rule to NAT (everything)

as just applying the NAT rule to port 4662 had no affect.  Anyway my port test is now showing success.

It wasn't something the wiki covered
