Hi, does anyone know, how to configure a D-link router for application e-Mule?

I already tried to fill in some ports into my routers 'application' that are listed here (http://members.ams.chello.nl/e.vanleeuwen13/faq/poorten.htm) but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

I'm not willing to disable buildin-firewall of the router (DMZ) since that would take the use out of it.

my router says:

it needs a trigger:

Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications have difficulties working with NAT (Network Address Translation). Special Applications allows some of these applications to work.


Trigger : This is the port used to trigger the application. It can be either a single port or a range of ports.


NEXT: it needs incoming ports,...:

Incoming ports : This is the port number on the WAN side that will be used to access the application. You may define a single port or a range of ports. You can use a comma to add multiple ports or port ranges.



I tried some combinations of ports, but my downloadspeed isn't going up,...it sticks somewhere between 1.8 Kb/s (!) AAAAAAA!!!! and 0.0 Kb/s AAAAAAA!

Help?

Well I think you should check to see if E-mule first has a method to establish what port it's going to use, some of the share programs switch ports, so you have to tell it that your rigging it for a firewall setup.

As for port forwarding, the idea here is that someone has to access that port to open the other ports up, namely someone connects to you it opens them. Usually the sort of connection you want is either a dedicated server setup for the ports, or a Port forwarding setup. (Triggering doesn't work that well with this sort of setup)

Triggering better for if your running a game like Ghost Recon, in that case you have like one main TCP/UDP port number and two others that are in it's range that are UDP. The TCP/UDP port is the one that works out if someone is connection (e.g. the trigger) where as the other two deal with the transfers once the triggers been hit.

As you mentioned DMZ is the alternative when you have a dedicated system thats been rigged up to serve multiple things or has a decent operating system rigged on it.

The other aspect is to try a different program for the task in hand, others might work slightly differently where e-mule can't do the things that they might do.

e-Mule specifies that it uses port 4662 for TCP and port 4670 for UDP,

But there's more to it: more and more servers block port 4662, so other users specify e-Mule to work on another port,...easy enough, within e-mule's preferences you can specify this easely: the difficulty is configuring my D-Link router!

I don't have the slitest idear on how to do this.

I've posted some msg on the e-mule forum, but none of it's members seem to react,...but my problem isn't in the FAQ and what's wors: there are examples of configurations of other routers completely depicted with screenshots etc, but D-Link isn't one of them,...

So,...what configuration should I give my router? trigger: what to fill in?? Incoming ports??? Leave Blancq?

I looked into e-Mule. Shareaza accesses the same network as well as others and works just fine behind my Linksys router. Maybe it would work for you and give you more results due to its accessing multiple networks.
