Problems with Low ID on Emule/Edonkey?

Indeed: UPnP is a reasonable security risk. If you don't need it really badly, turn it off.

Forwarding traffic to 2 IP's on local lan can't be done via userinterface, AFAIK.

Hmm, old topic anyway...

hm? from 1 port forwarding to 2 IP's you mean?

anyway

for emule create another (increase portnumber) port and forward that to the second pc, ofcourse tell E-Mule it uses another portnumber

meaning that you can run with uPnP...

Despite of the UPnP implementation Microsoft has done of this technology my concerns about security are mainly related to the whole concept itself.

A malicious code on a host in the LAN can exploit the UPnP technology to send unauthorised user information/system though a firewall by freely opening ports on the firewall.

IMHO Asus firewall should show or keep the track of the opened ports by UPnP.

I am puzled, it doesn't work for me The strange thing is that Azureus and kazaa Lite work perfect but last eMule 0.44d still gives me low ID. I have openned lots of ports that were indicated the help (TCP and UDP).
Anyone has an idea what is the problem?

Hi

You definitively only have to oben a TCP forward for the TCP port you set in Emule and an UDP forward for the emule UDP port. Not some random ports noted somewhere...
Then reboot the router and reboot your PC to be on the save side.
It will Work...

It is weird. I have forwarded the ports selected on eMule's prefferences also from the beginning without success.
You want to know the must confussing thing? I have just received a Linksys WTR54GS router and just changed the 2 and the Linksys has no trouble with eMule. I have rechecked several times and there is no explanation. It is maybe the Asus beta firmware that I am using that is causing the problems.

You have Asus, why buy WRT
Emule works here since ever, so its definitive a user Problem .
But don´t use Beta if you dont need a special feature or bugfix!
Stock Asus and Custom Firmware works just fine.
