Hi. I've been using Emule happily for almost a year. Suddenly today I am unable to connect to servers. I keep getting a message that server appears to be dead.

I update my server list with http://corpo.free.fr/server.met.

I've tried selecting several servers from the server list. All get the same message:

10/28/2006 6:20:32 PM: Byte Devils (194.213.0.10:3306) appears to be dead.
10/28/2006 6:22:18 PM: DonkeyServer No2 (62.241.53.16:4242) appears to be dead.
10/28/2006 6:22:43 PM: DonkeyServer No1 (72.51.37.237:8899) appears to be dead.
10/28/2006 6:24:23 PM: The Cherry Popper (72.51.38.140:8118) appears to be dead.
10/28/2006 6:25:42 PM: MacroPirate (209.204.61.170:6789) appears to be dead.
and so on...


Does anyone have any ideas?

Firewall of some sort is blocking.

Most common reason is change of IP if your modem is also a router.

or NIS.

Try changing ports.

Some of the server in your server list are fake.

To get a clean server list without fake servers, do the following:
In Options > Server, disable the options "Update server list when connecting to a server" and "Update server list when client connects".
Go to the Servers screen.
Delete all servers from your server list.
Add this URL to the "Update server.met from URL" field in the Servers screen and click the Update button: http://www.gruk.org/server.met.gz
It said: "Insert disk #3 into drive...", but only 2 will fit...?!?

If changing port doesn't work.That should be the problem of your ISP.I've got the message from my friend working in my ISP that they prohibit the protocol of BT and eMule .I can't connect to server by common method,either.

In the case of protocol blocking/throttling try using Obfuscated connetion.

You can use each port between 1 and 65535 (both included).
If there are problems, you can always change the numbers (just close-restart emule).
INCONCEIVABLE! - You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Usually it would be safer to select ports above 1024.
