I have a low eD2K ID, which I would like to improve. I'm running XP. With my firewall disabled, when I run the e-mule testscript, I get a 'timed out message' ( "possibly due to a stealth firewall . . &c" ). My question is twofild: a) is there something I can do in order to improve my ID? I don' think it's a problem with my firewall, since there is not change in my ID regardless of whether I am using a firewall or not; and B) what's a 'stealth firewall?'
do you have a router??
I'm using an Actiontec DSL Gateway ethernet DSL modem. I have a single PC connected to it via an ethernet card.
My guess is your isp is blocking the default emule port. Try changing it to something different and try again.
Same problem here. No router, too. Can u elaborate this "try changing" part? Changing what? Port? If so, i'll be more then thenkful if u give some tip how and where to do it.Quote:

go to Preferences -> Connection and somewhere on that page it should say tcp port and udp port, change both of them to numbers between about 5000 - 64000, eg my port numbers are
tcp 25678
udp 26678
no particular reason for those exact numbers pick numbers that take your fancy...
Thanks for the tip. I changed my port numbers (twice, closing out and restarting e-mule in-between, and I still have a Low ID. I wonder if I should try changing the ports again, or look elsewhere for the problem?
if your using windows XP you need to go to your connection properties. click the advance tab and uncheck the firewall option. windows has a built-in firewall. hope that helps.
Hey!
I have the exact same problem as you Crashbar. I tried with the different ports, disabled the firewall, checked that the windows firewall wasn't turned on. I tried with safe connect and use smart lowID check on connect enabled and still I have a low ID. Anybody have any other suggestions?
Thanks:)
i had probs too but it was cause i updated my modem drivers ;) try switching back to the old ones that mite help
I see the same LowID problem posts every other day in the emule section. Could someone write a good enough post with the title "LowID problems go here" and ask the mods to pin it.
