On reflection, it is entirely possible that this problem is router specific.
My router is a Thomson Speedtouch 585 provided by the ISP Be (UK). This router is highly configurable from a CLI, so maybe there are options I could alter to make it work with aMule. However it should be noted that the Deluge Bittorrent Client v0.5.9.3 and Skype v2.0.0.72 both successfully use UPnP to open ports on the router when run from my debian linux system. I am running an iptables firewall on this debian machine iptables -A INPUT -i <router if> -s <router IP> -d 224.0.0.0/4 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i <router if> -p udp -s <router IP> --sport 1900 --dport $UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i <router if> -p udp -s <router IP> --dport 1900 --sport $UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $ext_iface -p tcp --sport $UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o $ext_iface -p udp --sport $UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT Any help, pointers or solutions you could provide would be most welcome.
