Topic: eDonkey >HELP<, Please!!!

[Michael Wahlstrøm]

Being a newbie to Linux, I'm having trouble getting eDonkey on my clients (Win2K) to work with SME-server 5.5. Have read thru all avaiable info and tried to append ipchains like this:
ipchains -A input -p tcp --destination-port 4661:4662 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -p udp --destination-port 4665 -j ACCEPT
but nothing seems to work... can't connect to ANY servers!
1) How to set up the SME-server to support eDonkey?
2) What PROXY-parameters (if any) to set in eDonkey?
Please be specific and accurate in replies, as mentioned, I'm just a desperate newbie. Thx in advance! -Mike

You shouldn't need to configure anything on your server to get e-donkey to work. Unless you've done something else to the server setup. Make sure your client computers are configured correctly.
Note: I don't run e-donkey anywhere, but I do have clients who have it on some of their computers and nothing additional was needed.

Hi Arkman!
-And thx for the quick reply. I suppose you also run v.5.5 !?
Please elaborate on "client computers are configured correctly"... in Windoze IP-settings?, or do you mean eDonkey Proxy-settings? Thanks again!

Whoooa, I'm WAY ahead of myself on this one!

After having messed around with IPCHAINS which didn't work, (probably due to the Lunix shortcomings of this old MS DOS buff)
HERE's HOW-TO getting eDonkey clients to work thru SME Server v.5.5:

1) Install devinfo-mitel-update-system-0.0.1-12.noarch.rpm
This gives easy acces to installing other rpm's

2) Install dmc-mitel-portopening-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm
This gives easy acces to opening IP Ports.

3) Open these IP ports:
TCP 4661,
TCP 4662,
UDP 4665.

No further setup on clients and/or eDonkey; all as standard!

Thanks to all in the community... -Mike
