Hello....

I am running eMule on a computer that is a client in the windows ICS
(internet connection sharring) and I am trying to make it connect normally
so that the arrows on the emule connection globe are Green instead of Yellow
(low priority).
I have tried various configurations as well as

experiments with PORTTUNNEL http://www.steelbytes.com

and Portmapper http://www.analogx.com/contents/down...rk/pmapper.htm


But it seems I am not able to configure these correctly ...

can anyone help me out?


the first PC is connected directly to the internet (no hubs or routers) and
has only the XPSP2 firewall on....


THANKS

OT, but I think ICS is a mess, and is best avoided, especially as
inexpensive router/firewall appliances are so easily obtained these days.
What's the reason you want to keep ICS? You'd have a much easier time with
this with a router, and you'd have more security.

For each application wouldnt I have to open the routers ports ??? I test
applications 100 a day, because its part of
what I have to do.. if I have to keep fiddling with router settings, its a
nightmare!

whats the price range? A good model I can get?
How about one that is Upnp compatible? Is that useful?

I looked at some stores online in my country (europe) and all they had was
expensive ones or ones that have a dsl modem integrated....

whats the difference between a switch and a router?

There are switches here I see for as less as 10 euros

Well, you need to have something protecting your network, and you get very
little with ICS. Most consumer grade routers have a web interface that's
easy to use.

I don't like UPnP personally.

Linksys and Netgear are available in Europe, and are probably decent enough
for your purposes. Look on the manufacturer's websites for model numbers you
like and then look around to see where they're available.

I'll sell you my Dlink DI-624 for $15.00USD if it'll help. You pay for
shipping, email if interested...

Yes, but you don't need a switch only - you need a router/firewall
applianceof some sort, even if it also has a built-in switch.
