Port Forwarding eDonkey on the A-Link Roadrunner64

What is Port Forwarding?

View all Router Screenshots.

Before we can forward ports for eDonkey, we need to figure out what ports eDonkey is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up eDonkey.

Click the Options button in the menu at the top of your screen.

In the menu on the left hand side click Advanced. On this page you should see an UPnP Support checkbox. Please Uncheck that box.

We are going to click another option in the menu on the left hand side. Let's click Network this time. You should see a TCP Port box and an UDP Port box. Enter a random port into each of these boxes. It doesn't matter what ports you choose, but a port numbers between 10000 and 60000 would be a good idea. A higher numbered port is generally the best to use, because most ISP's do not block the higher numbered ports. Please enter the port you chose for the TCP Port box into the box below.

Please enter the port you chose for the UDP Port box into the box below.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for your computer.

Or you can take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!

Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.

In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router. By default the IP address should be set to 10.0.0.2.

You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is password. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above did not work for you.

Click the WAN IP Filter link near the left of the page.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. eDonkey requires you to forward the following ports: 100000,100001. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the WAN IP Filter menu.

When you're finished, click Update near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!

To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
