Is there a mod that will show High ID no matter what? I'm having problem getting some rare files because the other side is Low ID and I understand the standard eMule refuse to connect Low ID to Low ID. Please PM me a link if you know of one, thanks.

You are missing the point. It is not that Emule "refuses" to connect LowIDs, it is that both ends of the connection do not have a public IP address. The LowID is just a message given to you by the servers to inform your IP address is not reachable from the Internet. Even HighID clients can connect to you ONLY if you connect to them first (that because you know their public IPs).
You can't fake an HighID on the other end of the connection since your actual IP would stay "unknown/unreachable".

LowID assignment comes from a physical configuration of the connection. It is not an eMule's whim.
It is not only based on public or private IP numbers, but more precisely on open or closed ports. A port is a numbered plug that identifies a service. If you have a closed port, like for example due to a router or firewall protection, none can plug in that socket and receive the service. A LowID (still it's about 6 years that someone requested this notation to be changed to something more meaningful like in all other P2P programs) can give ED2K service only if it's the one that first connect to other clients which have a HighID. It means that two clients with a LowID cannot connet each other as none of them can bypass the first connection barrier.
This is a short concentrated summary of what is happening. It may be not fully clear, but it is a try to make you understand that the LowID issue is not a "random" assignment or something one gets for being particular nasty. There's no way eMule client can bypass the limits imposed by the network configuration.
By the way, why have you a lowID?

I'm pretty sure it's cause by my ISP, and no, there's no other alternative in my area. I don't understand why other P2P programs can connect two people with similar situations to Low ID and eMule can't. Anyways, I've found some mods talking about fake High ID detection, so that must mean there's fake High ID mods. I know they are probably not allowed on this forum. So I'll see if I can find it on my own I guess.

Good luck with the magic mod that can punch thorough remote routers.

@awdrifter
Ermm, well, not. Wait a moment. It is not that fake HighID are not allowed here. It is that the HighID faking feature is fake itself. It has not validity. It doesn't change anything. It's like installing a Ferrari dashboard on a Ford Fiesta and beliving that when 300 K/m are indicated on it you are really going that fast.
And no, other P2P programs can do wat's technologically impossible. Firewalls and routers NAT are thought to precisely avoid incoming connections from unwanted requests. If a user uses such tools, there's not way you can bypass them. Your ISP cannot do that. Unless you are in a protected MAN, the limits are in your router. Probably is is configured to keep ports closed and you have no priviledges to modify those rules. That's common when you use the router ISP rent you (at least here in Italy). If you buy your own router you have the chance to configure it properly and finally have a real HighID.

Unfortunately, since the phone companies are switching their business from the traditional phone lines to the "mobile", there is an increasing number of people who connect to limited networks like the much advertised UMTS and alike USB keys in Italy and other Wi-Fi connections. It is a little disturbing that almost everybody isn't aware of the limitations of those subscriptions.
