Netopia Cayman and eDonkey2000

CarpetFool

eDonkey complains about being behind a firewall, despite my disabling Norton. It must be the modem, anyone know of any config. changes I need to make?

Forward the port(or port ranges) that eDonkey uses from your Modem straight to your PCs IP address in the configuration menu of your modem. I trust your modem has something like this?, from what I hear in these forums the Netopia is a router with DHCP capabilities???. I may be wrong in which case ignore what I said:D, but if there is a configuration menu like that for your modem then use it to forward the port/s eDonkey uses. Should help in the connection and downloading.

If you are you need to forward the ports. (Are you coming up with a LowID?)
port 4662, 4711 TCP and port 4672 UDP – have to be forwarded
This allows other clients to connect directly to you when you get to the top of thier queue.
Try to connect to RazorBack or Probenprinz.de as these seem to have the most number of files.

The only place in the Netopia config where it mentions this kind of thing is in a section called 'pinholes'. Could this be it?

If so, the fields to be filled in are:

Pinhole name
Protocl select: TCP/UDP - ok
External port start:
External Port end:
Internal IP address:
Internal Port:

- the start and end thing is a bit confusing - maybe the same number for both. And what for the internal IP address?

cheers.

Yeah the pinhole settings are the ones. I had that exact problem with BitTorrent.

Pinhole - edonkey2000 (or whatever you want to call it)
Protocol select - TCP
Ext Port start - 4662 (You are opening the ports from 4662 to 4711)
Ext port end - 4711
Internal IP adress - This is the IP of your PC not the gateway (mistake I made) so run cmd.exe and type in ipconfig at the command prompt to get your machine's IP.
Internal port - 4662


Protocol select - UDP
Ext Port start - 4672
Ext port end - 4672
internal port - 4672

Also I don't know if this is relevant to you but I had to disable the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall/Internet connection sharing(ICS) in Control Panel\Administrative tools\Services and set them to not start on start up. My d/l speeds went from 4kb/s to 50kb/s. I'm not 100% sure about this so wait for someone else to confirm it.

Thats great, thanks man.

hi guys,
i've tried using the same settings as you mentioned above, I've tured off ICF and ZoneAlarm, set the pinholes and even played around with the Nat Default Mode but I'm still getting grief from eDonkey/eMule.
I'm running XP and its driving me mad aghhhhhh
any ideas ?

monk

sorry about that, o forgot to click on the small exclamation mark in the top corner to save the changes and restart. what's wrong with having a button marked "save" ?
ffs
:mad:

on a seperate issue, my netopia cayman modem claims that im connected to the internet at 10.0Mbps. Is there a way of changing that so it says my real connection rate of 512bps?

No that is not your connection to the internet it's your computers connection to your modem which is 10.0Mb....are you using a USB modem?, if so you may wanna try use ethernet......
