Emule/Adunanza Problem: firewall configuration on Windows7

Hi, many people in this days are trying Windows 7 and many have some problem with Emule (Adunanza) or others file-sharing programs.

This problem, actually, is only a wrong firewall configuration. In fact, when Windows creates automatically the settings, it creates only outbound rules.

I recommend to create manual rules follow this method:

1. start –> write “firewall” in search bar –> open first program in list
2. Click on “Inbound Rules”(on left) and then on “New Rule…”(on right)
3. Select “Port” –> next
4. Select “TCP” and insert TCP port of Emule –> next. Default port is 4662, but I recommend to use different port, for example 4668.
5. Select “Allow the connection” –> next
6. Select “Domain”, “Private”, “Public” –> next
7. Insert the name of new rule (ex. Emule TCP in) –> click finish                            
8. Repeat operations 2. and 3.
9. Select UDP and insert UDP port of Emule –> next. Default port is 4672, but I recommend to use different port, for example 4678.
10. Repeat operations 5. 6. 7.
11. Click on “Outbound Rules”(on left) and then on “New Rule…”(on right)
12. Repeat operation from 2. to 10.

Now Windows firewall is set and now you can use Emule, but first I recommend to check the connection setting of emule:

1. Open Emule
2. Options –> Connection
3. Insert TCP port and UDP port used on the rules
4. Ok

This method can be used also with other file sharing program like uTorrent, WinMX, DC++, Kazaa. If you want help or if you want give a piece of advice, give a comment.

Bye.

e-Mule is free software, you don’t have to pay for it!

Hi, I’m writing this post since yesterday a friend of mine asked  why he had to call a phone number in order to have something like an eMule activation code. Of course since eMule is free software you don’t have to pay for it, nor it requires an activation. You are seeing the request of such code because you downloaded a modified version of the software form an unofficial ad fraudulent site.

The only thing you have to do after having downloaded a fake setup is  trash the installer and download the right one from the official site. Next time double check what you are clicking on the Google page and do everything but clicking on sponsored links.

The last thing I want to share with you, my dear newbie, is the super-secret Google function to retrieve music. I hope you are going to find it useful.

To get a copy of a modified version of eMule just follow the simple steps I’m describing below:

• Point your browser to the root of all evil
• Query Google for eMule, download eMule, or something similar (making the query ad more nooby as possible is a homework left to the reader)
• Follow the first sponsored link.
• Congratulation you are just going to download a modified eMule installer.

p.s.

I first read of the special eMule version by this post of Napolux. After reading the post I was waiting for a friend coming with the question: I had to wait for four days, not bad :-(
