Emule connection problem

[reginaf]

I have been using Emule for a while and it's great, but recently I had to change my Connection Manager. I used to just use Windows Zero Configuration (I have an adaptor and it catches a router connection from another computer in the house)...

I switched to a different sofware- T-Mobile connection manager and now Emule just doesn't want to connect, it doesn't recognize that there is internet connection available.

I tried playing with options but I really don't know what to do.

I'd appreciate your help, thank you.:icon_thum

it turns out that Emule does recognize a connection but refuses to connect to ed2k network...it dismisses all the servers....and this started out of the blue....it worked great before...

i have no idea what to do and I can't live without my Mule...

Please help :)

T-Mobile is AT&T Wireless Network that does not like P2P traffics! Did you try different ports?

[reginaf]

I have tried to put different ports into Emule and then I opened them up in Firewall and Router settings....When I do "test ports" on Mule, there are always not reachable....

This is what I get

Using Wireless Network is not good for p2p traffics, sorry there's not much I can do. BTW, does bittorrent works well for you?

[reginaf]

I think it worked fine before, how do you know if it does? I was able to download loads of stuff and fast...I am connected to a router though, just through an adaptor and it worked fine before...

Now all the servers appear to be dead, full or timed out...so weird...:icon_boun

I've not been on the network for last few days, apparently a lot of good German servers are not working due to new file sharing law over there. But, there are other servers not located in Germany still works but could be full. My advice is try eMule KAD network, which works without using servers in addition to eDonkey servers, so turn on both eDonkey network & KAD network in your settings!

You could try yet another connection manager, and check firewall settings.
