I did it (worked fine) but I still have an ID of 0 !? any idea (SME 5.5 on cable with snort/acid + edk 35.16.60 on win2k)

Well I tried also Overnet by opening UDP 3287 with portopening : no success (said firewalled)... please give me some clues.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried a simple portforwarding like this:

ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 212.203.x.x 4661 -R 192.168.1.10 4661
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P udp -L 212.203.x.x 4661 -R 192.168.1.10 4661
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L 212.203.x.x 4662 -R 192.168.1.10 4662
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P udp -L 212.203.x.x 4662 -R 192.168.1.10 4662
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P udp -L 212.203.x.x 4665 -R 192.168.1.10 4665
ipmasqadm portfw -a -P udp -L 212.203.x.x 6335 -R 192.168.1.10 6335

where 212.203.x.x is of course your own external IP address and 192.168.1.10 is your internal ip of the client that is running edonkey (or Overnet)

This works for me. The only thing is you can't run more than one pc with edonkey at a time.

Thanks Meert for the reply,

Is there any security issues involved? does the packets still goes though the firewall?

What about a dyndns connection? my external IP will change from time to time. do I have to update the port forwarding all the time or is there any script to run to automate this?

Thanks in advance.

Your packets will be send straight to the opened port.
And you'll have to manually change the IP address everytime it changes.
I guess there is a possibility to create a script to automate this, but I can't help you there.

Where to get these RPMs ?

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

Hi,

Thanks all for your help. It is still not working with that, so I think my problem is somewhere else. I will reinstall my sme test server and do it again.

Cheers,

Larry

Hi all,

I just reinstalled sme and now it is working. Voila! (even without the port forwarding)
thanks.
