Hi there.

Does anybody know how to open and close ports on an iBurst UTD? If that is not possible, can anybody tell me how they set up eMule P2P to go through the default ports? The issue I have is that if those ports aren't open the whole system (eMule) puts you over to a Low ID which means you get connected to like only 10% of all sharing IP's out there.

If i've got this wrong, or if you have any advise...PLEASE POST!

Trixanno, unless you are running your utd through a router the pppoe connection terminates on your PC so all the ports are "forwarded" to your PC. The problem you are running into is that WBS are shaping p2p on the iburst network to kill you eMule.

Your options are to upgrade to the 9GB package which as i understand is not p2p shaped, or to use a proxy (do a search for openweb) to "unshape" your connection.

daveogg, the shaping is true, but it is possible to get HighID even on shaped accounts. trix, are you running any kind of firewall on your system, caus that might be the issue. if you are, then you will need to open those ports specificaly. I have gotten my eMule to work on HighID for bothe edonkey and KAD, but my setup runs through a wireless router, and I just forwarded the specific ports on my WiFi router to my IP...

I've checked it out now. My firewall is totally disabled, when I start emule without connecting to the network and do a port test, all is well, as soon as I connect to the emule network and run the same port test, the report is that the connection failed. The result is that it gives me HighID untill the program changes servers.

Has anybody experienced the same issue before?

Well a highID is hardly going to help you, the point is that the connection will still be shaped and you will not likley get more than 2-5kb or so..

What you need is to get the proxy working and then still become a HighID user, it usually isnt to hard, i do it through my router and my firewall, simply allow it on the FW and forward the ports on the router.. should do the trick and then add openwebs free proxy.
