![]() The TCP port works fine using "Port Forwarding", but the UDP port refuses to work even though the eMule website port test shows it's forwarded correctly. You write, pick Port Forwarding (first choice), but that's exactly what I'm trying to point out in this thread. eMule uses two different ports, one for TCP (4562 in my case) and one for UDP (4572 in my case). ![]() I'm not trying to use the same port in both "Virtual Servers" and "Port Forwarding". Other applications luke µTorrent all work fine with just "Port Forwarding". Is this a bug in the router's firmware? Or is there a difference between "Port Forwarding" and "Virtual Servers" I do not know of? I see no reason why the "Port Forwarding" shouldn't work in my case. Port Forwarding TCP + Port Forwarding UDP Port Forwarding TCP and UDP (TCP and UDP in one rule) However, the UDP port will only work with "Virtual Servers". I can forward the TCP port using "Port Forwarding" or "Virtual Servers" - it doesn't matter, both work. Just to be sure I've switched between the "Virtual Servers" and "Port Forwarding" several times and whenever the "Port Forwarding" rule was active, the kad network died.įurther experiments showed the problem only applies to the UDP port. However, as soon as I clicked "Save Settings" (even without rebooting) eMule immediatly connected to the kad network. The "Virtual Servers" rules I made in the D-Link DIR-855:įrom my understanding the above should be identical to the earlier given "Port Forwarding" rule, correct? I disabled the earlier created forwarding rules and made two new virtual servers (two because I have to forward two ports and unlike with "Port Forwarding" "Virtual Servers" can do only one). Just as an experiment I decided to play with "Virtual Servers". Everything seems to be set correctly, but the kad network won't work. When I test the ports in eMule, the eMule website shows no problems. The "Port Forwarding" rules I made in the D-Link DIR-855: Even bootstrapping with a recent nodes.dat makes no difference. With only "Port Forwarding" eMule connects fine to the ed2k network, but refuses to connect to the kad network (Kademlia). One application, eMule (0.49b), refuses to work correctly with "Port Forwarding" but will work with "Virtual Servers" or a combination of both. So you'd think if you'd only need to forward a single port both "Virtual Servers" and "Port Forwarding" will give the same result. The main difference seems to be the fact that "Virtual Servers" can only forward a single port (with possibility to change the port number) whereas "Port Forwarding" can forward whole ranges (without possibility to change the port number). What is the difference between "Virtual Servers" and "Port Forwarding"? From the online help I can only conclude both are more or less the same. Port forwarding seems to be divided in two parts: "Virtual Servers" and "Port Forwarding". So far I'm quite impressed and satisfied with this unit. ![]() Sadly, the machine died and since I wanted to do something about its power consumption I ended up with a D-Link DIR-855. Up to now I used a Linux computer to route my Internet connection.
