Amule and this LowID problem, but my 4662 port is open????

totoffe

I don't know what's happening, I emerged Amule 1.2.6, my 4662 port is open, and in the server information, it doesn't tell me I have a low ID, but my ID number is always under 1000000, I saw I was lowid, when I told myself to be my friend, then I was able to do a 'Show detail' on myself, which showed me I was LowId.

What's happening?!

do you have an firewall inbetween you and the internet?

or maybe your isp is blocking the port? try another port.

cheers

Then I guess, I'll have to live with this stuff.

Anyway thanks for the explanation. :wink:

Out of curiosity, could you make a tunnel that goes from an interior lan to an external box with port 4662 open, using squid or something and go through that box without getting a lowid?

I had the same problem with port 4662, so I just used a different port. No more low-ID :wink:

But where to tell amule to use a different port???

And which port do you currently use?

You can use a solution with iptables on the computer you use as firewall...

try this

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 4661 -j DNAT --to-dest 195.1.1.2
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i ppp0 --dport 4661 -d 195.1.1.2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 4662 -j DNAT --to-dest 195.1.1.2
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -i ppp0 --dport 4662 -d 195.1.1.2 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p udp --dport 4672 -j DNAT --to-dest 195.1.1.2
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp -i ppp0 --dport 4672 -d 195.1.1.2 -j ACCEPT

change ppp0 if this isn't your internet connection eth0 if you're using a lan for example
and change 195.1.1.2 to the ip number for your computer
It will relay the connection for these ports to the computer that is using amule...

Just a thing... if you get a lowid with that reconnect... one or 2 times amule and you will be in highid

That's a little part of my firewall... and it works
