Re: eMule & Zonealarm Configuration

I think you have things a little confused. The hosting machine's use of ZA should not make a difference to the client machine wanting to run eDonkey. It would make a big difference if the client machine was running ZA. In that case make certain the client setup is as discussed above in this thread.

My guess is that the ports 4662 and 4672 are not properly forwarded by ICS. Just be certain that when you forwarded the ports at the ICS server/host that the local i.p. was that of the client machine, and not that of the server; e.g. not 127.0.0.1, or the Gateway address. If it would be possible to use uPnP, then do so.

On a final note, the fact that you have ports forwarded does not automaticly mean that a port scan by a security scanner is going to show the port as "open." Remember that the scan is taking place on the Public WAN IP and not the individual LAN IPs of your various networked computers. NAT routing 'protect' those LAN-side addresses. Furthermore, if you have ICMP traffic disabled, then the best that they could appear is 'stealthed.' This has nothing to do with a valid edonkey connection. To test your edonkey/emule connection, use the connection test utility at www.edonkey2000.com.
