you can't just say nat is now OPEN :)
let's say you have a pc with IP of 192.168.1.33
you are running a emule (hehe) on that PC
you want to use port 12345 for your emule
this is what you need to do:
1. go to webinterface of your router (usually http://192.168.1.1)
2. go to menu network/nat/port forwarding
3.go to service->user define
4. in new window click "active", name it emule, start port 12345, end port 12345, server ip 192.168.1.33
5. click ok, apply, whatever and go to menu security/firewall/rules
6. choose packet direction wan to wan/router
7. click on ADD
8. change following fields: destination address - change to single address and change 0.0.0.0 to 192.168.1.33 and click on add, then close to it says ANY, mark it and click on remove
9. on same page under services click on edit customized services
10. choose number 1 or 5 or whatever :)
11. service name: emule rule, service type TCP/UDP, type single, port 12345
12. click on apply
13. go to menu maintenance/tools/restart
14. just in case restart the box and your zyxel is now accepting incoming connections on port 12345 and forwarding them to 192.168.1.33 (your pc) ...

i hope i helped

Here is how to set up port forwarding for emule: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT160N/eMule.htm If you use emule Plus see here: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT160N/eMule_Plus.htm

You need to portforward your router to accept emules port number/numbers. Go to portforward.com. look up your router and follow the instructions. It's pretty easy.

Where are you Santiago, and Emule is still having conflics with its scripts, just change to a another Source, I will pull itup later on tonight and see where the Problem is,...

I am sorry, but I would not listen to advice that you need to disable your Firewall for it to work!?!

Obviously as the response shows, even with the Firewall disabled it did not work [and would be vulnerable to attack]

There are two possibilities off hand:

1. You have not taken into account forwarding ports in your Router as well as Software Firewall [if applies to you]
2. Your ISP may be aware of using the ed2k protocol and try to stop you from using eMule

Remember to use the OBFUSCATION option.
This option in eMule allows you to connect to a server in a way
that masks or 'hides' the ed2k (eMule) protocol

Go To Options > Security

Here you'll tick the "Enable Protocol Obfuscation" box


Remember to only tick the first box under "Protocol Obfuscation"

You should be able to see your 'hidden' status on the right side
of the server window in eMule


If your ISP was in fact interfering, this should help you gain back your ability to use eMule without restriction

One more thing re low id on emule - try to choose ports between 10000 and 60000 - many isps block the standard ports that emule users choose, and you will see people saying to choose one over 5000, but I'd chosen ports between 5000 and 10000, and still had no luck until I went over10000.
Most isps don't monitor ports over 10000, so if you still have low id problems even after port forwarding and setting up your firewall, this may be the answer to your problem! (I got this info off portforward.com, and it worked for me)

You must open ports on your router to allow incoming traffic while using eMule. eMule uses three ports*: 4662 (TCP) 4672 (UDP) 4711 (TCP) Visit eMule here. * To prevent getting a low ID (Firewalled), open additional TCP ports between 4661 and 4665. Also, limit the number of connections in the eMule software. You may need to change the TCP Clientport to something other than 4662.

There are several reasons why this is happening. Most likely the reason is simply because you are behind a router or firewall and the correct ports are not open.
