[Mldonkey-users] How to know what you need to open for your mldonkey client

[Thomas Mangin]

To know what you need to open with your mldonkey client.

start mldonkey.

On most Unix.
netstat -anp | grep mldonkey | grep 0.0.0.0

On windows (I use XP Pro, the o option is not available under 2000)
Control+Alt+Escape, then find the PID of mldonkey
Open a command.com or cygwin

netstat -anop tcp | grep <PID> | grep 0.0.0.0
netstat -anop udp | grep <PID> | grep 0.0.0.0

You can then see the lines such as :

<protocol> 0 0 0.0.0.0:<port> 0.0.0.0:* <application>

You now have a list of all the port to open udp and tcp, you may or may not
want to allow port 4000 and 4800 which are used for administration.

restart mldonkey to make sure all is fine.

I hope I did not forget anything ...
