This is generic information, as I don't know your router, nor do I use aMule. But I would have restarted the router (if it requires you to), *THEN* attempt to start up the file sharing client. You'd have your network ready, then, for it to do its tricks. You might want to try probing your system from the outside, to see if that port is open. Try the service at <http://www.grc.com/>, but don't pay too much attention to the snakeoil pitch, you're only interested in finding out whether your ports are open or closed to the outside world. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
