Port Forwarding eMule on the Dlink DIR-615

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

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

Click the Connection option on the left hand side of your screen. You should see a TCP box and an UDP 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 box into the box below.

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

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 192.168.0.1.

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 blank. Click the Log In 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 Advanced button near the top of the page.

Click the Port Forwarding button 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. eMule requires you to forward the following ports: 100000,100001. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Forwarding Rules menu.

When you're finished, click Save Settings near the top 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.
