I have a LAN with Windows XP clients and cablemodem exit to Internet thru a router Debian Woody with iptables. I need that one of the clients (192.168.111.2) can to download and upload files with eMule. I applied in the router the iptables rules given by Oskar Andreason in their tutorial and I opened the ports (tcp and udp) 4661, 4662, 4665, 4672, 4711. BUT the eMule continues giving Low ID to client. With an external ports-scan on the router I find that these ports continue presenting to eMule as stealth, in spite of the fact that I opened them. I need to know if what I made to open these ports is well. Please you could revise the rules that I paste below and tell me if they are OK??? Because if they are OK my ISP is filtering the ports corresponding to the eMule. -----------------------------paste iptables rules from here----------- #!/bin/sh /etc/init.d/iptables clear # 1.1 Internet Configuration. # INET_IFACE="eth0" INET_IP=$(ipofif eth0) # # 1.1.1 DHCP # # # 1.1.2 PPPoE # # # 1.2 Local Area Network configuration. # # your LAN's IP range and localhost IP. /24 means to only use the first 24 # bits of the 32 bit IP address. the same as netmask 255.255.255.0 # LAN_IFACE="eth1" LAN_IP="192.168.111.1" LAN_IP_RANGE="192.168.111.0/8" # # 1.3 DMZ Configuration. # # # 1.4 Localhost Configuration. # LO_IFACE="lo" LO_IP="127.0.0.1" # # 1.5 IPTables Configuration. # IPTABLES="/sbin/iptables" # # 1.6 Other Configuration. # ########################################################################### # # 2.
