Port Forwarding eMule on the ZyXEL Prestige643

What is Port Forwarding?

View all Router Screenshots.

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.

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!

In windows click on the Start button, and then click Run. This will bring up a Run program box. In the textbox in that window type cmd (WinXP/2k/Vista/Win7) or command (Win95/98/ME). Then click the Ok button. A black msdos prompt window should be open in front of you. Type telnet 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, and then press the enter key on your keyboard.

You should prompted for your password. Enter your password now. By default the password is 1234.

Please visit our default username and passsword page, if the password shown above did not work for you.

Type 15 at the prompt to get to the Nat options.

Type 2 at the prompt to get to the Nat Server Sets options.

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 Nat Server Setup menu.

You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Nat Server Setup page. Go ahead and enter those settings now.

Type enter at the prompt.

Type 99 at the prompt.

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