Help me out-Setting up Port Forwarding for eMule.

[Nickthestick91]

Ok, I need to set up port forwarding for eMule, but I'm having a problem. I first need to set up a Static IP on all of the computers on my network, but I'm having a problem on this PC with Windows ME. Here is the guide I am using: http://www.portforward.com/networking/static-me.htm

I'm fine until I get up to step 3. I type in ipconfig/all and click enter, but the IP and Subnet mask are all 0's, there's nothing in the default gateway spot, and there's no DNS Servers. Here is a pic:


Now, I've already set up the static IP on a computer that's wireless. Could this be happening because this computer is connected directly to the router and modem? Any help would be appreciated.

You say you need to configure windows for a static address, why do you need to enter a static address, you could let it obtain an ip automatically....in any case just enter your static IP in the host computer and my advice, allow all the guest computers to obtain an IP automatically through DHCP...

Then open een dos window type run>cmd>ipconfig /all and see what you then get...

You will need to " enable "netbios over tcp/ip" for a static address, that should help...but it would be a lot easier if you allow windows to obtain automatically an IP.

The information needed should have been obtained from your ISP. Things as IP address and default gateway...good luck

>the IP and Subnet mask are all 0's

The information may have scrolled off the top of the box, on XP you get a scrollbar on that window.

You can try
ipconfig /all |more

If you can't find the pipe symbol on your keyboard then in a dos box you can hold down alt then press 124 on the numeric keypad.

Alternativly try winipcfg as described here

Use the drop down list to look at the state of the different network adaptors.
