"Servers: Trying to connect", then "Timeout"
« on: March 20, 2006, 04:09:21 PM »
aMule doesn't want to connect to the internet. It tries all the time to connect, so the status is always "Servers: Trying to connect".
I used aMule 2.0.3 all the time and had no problems. Then I downloaded aMule 2.1.0, I had the same problems like now.
The settings are the same, that I had on my aMule 2.0.3.
The Serverlist is also the same.

Please help me!

Servers: Trying to connect, then always Timeout!
« Reply #1 on: March 27, 2006, 06:49:04 PM »
I too am having this problem....
I have only recently downloaded my first amule. I have started with the lastest version. The first few times I used aMule it connected just fine. I have adjusted a few settings, but mainly only bandwiths etc. I don't think I have fiddled with it too much.
I can't seem to get it to connect at all anymore...
Don't know much  about this stuff.... been trying to find more info in FAQ's and other forums, but no luck finding a cure so far!!

PLEASE HELP US!!!

Cheers,
Beets ?( :baby:

many many servers are offline since razorback2 got shutdown

try one of the following:

ed2k://|server|62.241.53.2|4242|/
ed2k://|server|62.241.53.4|4242|/
ed2k://|server|62.241.53.16|4242|/

Apparently Razorback is just doing fine.

But I have the same problem. I just cant connect to any servers.

I have the ports forwarded, and still I get no connection at all.

I am running MAC OS 10.4.x and aMule 2.1.1

I checked active servers with the emule client of my flatmate, and hes able to connect to all servers.

I do NOT understand it at all.

well maybe its a firewall issue, is your flatmate in the same LAN as you are?

if yes, you both should be using different ed2k ports, and then forward them from the router to your PC

maybe your flatmate did that for his eMule and you are using the same ports as he does...so this cant work

btw: razorback2 is dead, the remaining razorbacks are fake servers from teh RIAA

well, I manage the router in our flat, and he has ports TCP 30500 and UDP 30505 forwarded.
So that cant be the problem, because I am using default ports with aMule. Must be something different. I get a connection on my debian 2.6.16 linux OS and NO connection under mac os x (I opened the ports in the mac firewall as well). Just no connection at all.

Did you try changing the ports to something non-standard? Some ISPs filter the default P2P ports...

do you debian and MacOS use teh SAME ip address?

is it the SAME pc or a different one?

if its teh same pc, check the IPs , if its a different one, you of course cannot use the same ports...

Hi!

As 'profipimp' also I have the same problem.
At home I have 1xPC (main computer, Windows XP), 1xmacMini (Intel, internal firewall disabled) and one wireless router from Linksys (WRT54GC).

Everything works just fine from my PC. aMule or eMule it doesn't matter, because both work. I can't say the same for my macMini. When I start aMule I get the same message as 'profipimp' (Timed out). IP of macMini is 192.168.1.3 and on my PC 192.168.1.2. I disconected PC from my network, redirected mule ports from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.3. And no luck :(
Should I try different, nonstandard ports?

you are redirecting from

192.168.1.2  -> 192.168.1.3 ?? so you are routing from winXP to mac???

try non standart ports, but if you say the standart ports work on winXP it should not matter...

No...I have changed the routing mechanism on router (Linksys). I changed it from 192.168.1.2(PC)  to 192.168.1.3 (Mac).

What else can I do?

Yes, they share the same reserved DHCP-address. Since the router auths my MAC-adress, it doesnt make a destinction between OS running.

its the same.

its the same pc and ip


So I wonder if it probably is a bigger problem, or if not, what it could be.

I am kinda clueless with the two off you here...looks to me this is a MacOS issue since you say it works on other OS running on the same pc and IP,

so it cant be portforwarding or anything regarding that...

I'll show this thread our macos gurus ;) maybe they have some idear
