My Turn - Low Id, Linksys Wrt1900Ac
#1
Posted 15 September 2016 - 09:11 PM
I am running W7. I have an Linksys WRT1900AC router.
The lingo on the setup pages of the router are different than in the emule help pages, such as "external port" and "internal port". Then there's "single port forwarding", "port range forwarding" and "port range triggering". I've downloaded and printed the user's manual but it's written for people who already know what all that means. Better title would be Network Administor's Guide. Not so great if you haven't gone to a Networking school.
Can anybody guide me to a blow by blow or click by click guide to setting up this router for emule? Seems like the emule help pages are also written for people who've gone to networking school. A guide written in plain ol' English would be fabulous!

- Log in to your router settings.
- Go to Connectivity, local network, click dhcp reservations button.
It should ask you host name, mac address/physical address, ipv4 address (sometimes host name isn't required).
Run/launch this (unique) command from an elevated command prompt.
(How to open an elevated command prompt in Windows 7: click windows start orb in the bottom-left corner, in the searchbox type CMD, CMD should appear at the top of the list, right-click it, click run as an administrator):
(echo: & ipconfig /all|findstr /i /c:"phys" /c:"ipv4 a" /c:"eth" /c:"dhcp " /c:"host" | findstr /v /i /c:"00-00-00" /c:"DHCP Ena" & echo: & echo: & getmac | findstr /i /c:"device") > "%userprofile%\desktop\connection.txt" & notepad "%userprofile%\desktop\connection.txt"
To copy that line, you can click three times (thrice?) on the code and the entire line will be selected.
If that copy method doesn't work with your preferred browser, try with MSIE (Microsoft internet explorer).
Then, until it's selected, right-click that line, copy it, paste it inside the command prompt, press enter on your keyboard.
It should open notepad with something like:SpoilerAs you can see you'll get all the three necessary information.
Given that there could be more mac addresses/physical addresses, the last line should repeat the correct one.
Using my example, if I had got your same router, I should have put:
- host name: XILOLEE
- MAC address: AC:F8:1B:3E:C4:99
Although windows command prompt shows the hyphens (or dashes?), the router usually wants the colons (but some routers accept the hyphens). - IP address: 192.168.1.2
- host name: XILOLEE
- Then go to Security, apps and gaming, port range forwarding, click add a new port range forwarding.
It should ask you:
- Application name: emule (but I think here you can put anything, also "micky mouse" or "goofy")
- Start - end port: 55555 - 55556 (or two consecutive numbers of your choice, between 1 and 65535 - also 1 and 2 can work)
- Protocol: both (or any, or tcp/udp, or all... whatever appears to have all the protocols)
- Device ip: the ip you have used in the DHCP reservation step.
- Enabled: yes (tick/select the enable checkbox, or enable this "rule")
- Click save/apply/create in that screen.
- Click also apply and then ok in the port range forwarding screen.
- Application name: emule (but I think here you can put anything, also "micky mouse" or "goofy")
- Open emule, go to options connections:
- Untick (deselect) Use upnp to setup ports (it is under the udp port)
- Put 55555 (or 55556) in your tcp port (if you chose another port in the port forwarding step, you should use that one)
- Put 55556 (or 55555) in your udp port (if you chose another port in the port forwarding step, you should use that one)
- Click apply/ok and close emule
- Untick (deselect) Use upnp to setup ports (it is under the udp port)
- Restart your router and your pc.
- Open emule and see if it works in high id mode (green diagonal arrows on the little tiny globe/world).

"Go to Connectivity, local network, click dhcp reservations button.
It should ask you host name, mac address/physical address, ipv4 address (sometimes host name isn't required)."
It has a chart headed by "DHCP Reservations", followed by "Reserved Addresses". The chart has 4 columns. The first says "Device Name" (Host?) Shows my computer name. Second column says "Assign IP Address", shows my computer's IP address. Third column says "TO: MAC Address", shows my computer's MAC address. 4th column says "edit/delete". Obviously add/edit/delete. At one time I had all my wired and wireless devices with "reserved addresses". I've since deleted all but the computer. Numbers in "reserved addresses" correspond with same elsewhere in router settings. I'm guessing this is all correct and should just leave well enough alone.
Connections.txt shows:
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 60-EB-69-DD-3F-62
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : (computer IP address) (Preferred)
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . :
On the "Local Network" tab under DHCP Server, in router settings, is shows it as "enabled" with a "start address" of 192.168.1.100. In the connections.txt file it shows the DHCP server as 192.168.1.1 . . . is that the same? Shouldn't the trailing ".1"s be entered as ".001"?
Otherwise, I think I got it all right. Shut down router and PC. Brought it all up with emule . . . LowID!
The only discrepancy is the difference between DHCP Server setting in router settings of 192.168.1.100 and same(?) setting in connection.txt file as above.
I'm thinking my ISP is holding me back!

By the way, 192.168.1.1 is your router ip (=gateway), all the other IPs (from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254) can be assigned to your devices, starting from... 192.168.1.100 in your case (i.e., the ips managed by the dhcp function of your router will be the ones starting from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200 <--- guessed, it is usually 200 the end) .
Hence the first device that connects will get 192.168.1.100, the second device 192.168.1.101, and so forth.
Instead when you use the reserved address, your devices will get the IP numbers you decide.
That's why you can give reserved addresses to all of your devices without problems.
Once you know exactly your device IP, you'll put that in the port forwarding section of your router settings.
I'll give you another simpler example of how you can set your port forwarding.
Let's say your PC has got 192.168.1.100 and you are using ports 1 and 2 in emule options connections (upnp checkbox mustn't be ticked):
- Application name: emule
- Start port: 1
- End port: 2
- Protocol: both
- Device ip: 192.168.1.100
- Enabled: yes
Re-check your settings, it is even simpler to mistype the numbers... (yes, I did!)

Also found out I got the wrong modem for the ISP to get 300Mbps. That might have something to do with it even tho I've been running this modem with a HighID.
Here's something. In emule, in the server list windows, under My Info it shows:
eD2K Network
Status: Connected
IP:Port: Unknown
ID: 10579350
Low ID
Who's IP Port? Unknown?
I disabled UPnP in the router, been disabled in emule, that too had no effect.
Still very confused why the connection.txt file shows the router IP as "DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1" while the DHCP Server window shows a "starting IP" of 192.168.1.2.
Anyway, pretty sure everything is setup right, 'bout ready to give up!

Check in connectivity, advanced routing: nat should be enabled (ticked).
Can you see in the home page of your router (or in another page) your PUBLIC ip address?
(You can find you public ip address through webservices like whatsmyip.org, as an example)
Or you can see an ip address in the following ranges?
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 100.64.0.0 –100.127.255.255 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
Can you access to your router from your public IP address?
Check the diagonal arrows on the globe: are they yellow (the lower) and green (the higher)?
Are you getting the following message in the server log?
Warning ServerName (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4661) - Your ip ends with a 0. The edonkey protocol assigns a LOWID to you. It's OK, dont panic !
The dhcp server is equal to the gateway that it's equal to your router ip.
The router (192.168.1.1) "serves" your devices: 192.168.1.2 to the first arrived, 192.168.1.3 at the second and so forth up to 192.168.1.8.
Now with address reservation, it "serves" your devices like you said: 192.168.1.5 at your pc, and the other ips to your other devices...

Under VPN Passthrough, IPSec Passthrough is checked, PPTP Passthrough is checked and L2TP Passthrough is checked. Internet filters are at their default settings.
NAT is enabled, checked and ticked.
"Can you see in the home page of your router (or in another page) your PUBLIC ip address?" Yes! 70.118.235.* The arrows going around the globe in the upper left corner are grey, neither yellow or green.
"Can you access to your router from your public IP address?" ? No idea how to do that!
"Are you getting the following message in the server log?" Emule server log or router? In emule I got this: "9/16/2016 9:02:18 PM: Warning eMule Security No1 (91.200.42.46:1176) - You have a lowid. Please review your network config and/or your settings." That's all I can see.
"The dhcp server is equal to the gateway that it's equal to your router ip.
The router (192.168.1.1) "serves" your devices: 192.168.1.2 to the first arrived, 192.168.1.3 at the second and so forth up to 192.168.1.8.
Now with address reservation, it "serves" your devices like you said: 192.168.1.5 at your pc, and the other ips to your other devices... Like I said, I didn't go to networking school. I am probably thinking the same thing, just in a different way. I think one of the problems is terminology used. "Host" in connection.txt is not the same as "Host" in the router and it gets worse after that. I cannot find any setting for DHCP Server or Gateway, so I'll take your word for it. All three are one and the same.

Be simpler still if I were to post a link to the router user's guide.
From my dropbox account: https://www.dropbox....CGuide.pdf?dl=0
Here's a link to my drop box "screen shot" folder: https://www.dropbox....XMTrKVJnaa?dl=0 5 shots there, should be self explanatory. I think everything is set up correctly.

Put your public IP in your browser address bar and see if the router log in window appears.
This is what you should get, if you have a (real) public IP:
If it works, you should be able to get a high-id, and it means we are forgetting some settings...
If it doesn't work, maybe your ISP doesn't give you a (real and accessible) public IP anymore.
Or it could be your router doesn't accept public accesses...
What firewall are you using?
And what antivirus/antimalware/antispyware?

"Put your public IP in your browser address bar and see if the router log in window appears." It does!
"What firewall are you using?" Windows and whatever Linksys does. Checked it yesterday, emule has permission in Widows Firewall.
"And what antivirus/antimalware/antispyware?" AVAST
I was working fine up until about 3 or 4 days ago (actually had to slow down the uploads), restarted the computer (only), started it back up and here I am.

How many shared files?
Are you using ipfilters/peerblock/peerguardian/proxy/vpn ?
How many servers have you got in your server list?
Did you set static servers?
