Hey guys.

I just downloaded this p2p software called eMule. Does anyone here use it? If so i wonder if you could help me out.

Basically, nothing downloads. I think this is cos of my router. When i click test ports in eMule, it says UDP test failed. I don't know much about ports and such like, so i don't rly wanna go messing around with things until I get some feedback and advice.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for that mate that looks like it'll be the job nicely.

One thing though...and this my be a stupid question. I need to set up the static IP address, so do I do that on the pc with the router installed yeah?

Thanks a lot for your help

While it is not necessary to have a static IP on your PC, it would make things easier.
