assistance with emule and winmx

Hi,

I had a wireless network set up about a month ago and ended up taking in
back to the shop. My problem was that I was unable to use emule or winmx -
my fav p2p programs.

I had a dlink di 624, a dwl g520 card in my desktop machine and dwl g650
card in a notebook. I was able to retain and maintain a reasonable network
however even after assistance from dlink i couldnt get the emule to function
properly and winmx wouldn't accept a primary connection.

Now I have a new centrino notebook i would like to network the machines
again wirelessly. But, before I do so - does anyone have any experience
with setting up a wireless router/adsl modem to enable emule or winmx to
function correctly. I am confortable with the setting up of the hardware
and network software - just would like to get some experiences with the p2p
products and how to tweak them for the wireless system.

If you have these working, please let me know which router/modem you use and
how you configured them.

thanks

Doug

It's called use the port forwarding feature on the router. That requires
that you know what inbound ports emule and winmx need to have open on the
router.

I suggest you call D-Link's Tech Support or visit their Website Support
Knowledge Base to figure out how to set the router to do port forwarding.

Thanks Duane

But I mentioned that I have already done that. - and was not successful.

I am keen to find out if anyone else has followed dlinks instructions and if
they worked.

I could use kazaa - but that seems to have too much porn for my liking and
not enough of the things that I like to download.

If you have port forwarded those ports correctly to a LAN side IP/machine,
then there is no reason for it not to work, unless you have a PFW or
someother packet filtering software running on the machine that must be
configured too.

Duane

I'm happy to try the set up again and put it back to dlink if the thing
doesnt work.

thanks again for you kind advice.

Hi,

I'm using D-Link stuff and Emule here. Ran into that issue a while back,
but was easily able to resolve it. Can't remember if I found the info from
D-Link's or Emule's website, but looking at the entries in my router
(DI-764) opening the following should get ya up and going:

TCP 4662/4662 (private/public)
UDP 4672/4672

Either port forward or virtual server, depending on the language of the
DI-624. I'm pointing both to a single private IP as I only wanted Emule
running on one computer.

Cheers!

I have DI-624 and i needed to open the ports. (I also use Emule)
If you want i open it to you, please, contact me.

I am sure the OP will do that one. ;-)
