How can I use eDonkey behind my DI-824VUP?
Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
You must open ports on your router to allow incoming traffic while using
eDonkey.
eDonkey uses three ports (4 if using CLI):
4661 (TCP) To connect with a server
4662 (TCP) To connect with other clients
4665 (UDP) To communicate with servers other than the one you are connected to.
4663 (TCP) *Used with the command line (CLI) client when it is configured to allow
remote connections. This is the case when using a Graphical Interface (such as the
Java Interface) with the client.
