cannot connect to Kademlia
« on: October 17, 2005, 07:51:30 PM »
Another strange behaviour...
aMule cannot connect to Kademlia, after several hours of running. I have HighID on ed2k and for sure no UDP ports are blocked except 466x. They are blocked also for TCP, so I use other ports and it works for ed2k.
What do I need to check to ensure it's not aMule problem? Or possibly, Kademlia has some specific requirements? e.g. port 4661 open?
If not, then, what am I doing wrong that makes aMule say I'm "firewalled" ?

Kademlia uses the same ports as ed2k: one TCP port of your choosing, one UDP at TCP+3, and another UDP port of your choosing.  If your UDP ports really are available (open in your firewall and forwarded by your router), then I don't know what the problem is.

Thats strange. I'll check with ethereal, what is happening... BTW you mean that if I choose e.g. port 8000 for ed2k, then Kademlia will use the same TCP, 8000, and two UDPs 8003 and the one I set in preferences?
I mean - aMule listens to TCP 8000 and determines whether connecting client wish to use ed2k or Kademlia proto?

Yes, that's sort of correct.  Kademlia is an extension of the ed2k protocol that aMule normally uses.  Each message is tagged with protocol and opcode.  There isn't a distinction between ed2k clients and Kad clients for most parts of the protocol (exchanging file data and information about files, etc.).  For Kademlia-specific messages, they are tagged with Kademlia-specific protocol/opcode information.
