Hi there,
I've just installed amule-2.1.0-1 on my Debian Etch running a vanilla
2.6.14 kernel.
My problem is that I always get a 'low ID', even disabling the firewall on
my Dynalink adsl router and resetting every iptables rule:

# iptables -F
# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Perhaps do I need to configure /etc/hosts.* or some other file?
Thanks for answering.

If you sit behind a DSL router that uses NAT (e.g. the computer that
runs amule only has an internal, local IP address), you cannot get a
high ID, unless you configure the router to forward all ports used for
incoming connections by amule to the internal computer.

The best thing to do if situation in previous message applies is to set
a static ip for your box and forward the port as mentioned by Andreas.
