[edit] P2P Network ports

Since mldonkey supports several p2p networks, it will use different ports, depending on the networks you've enabled:

• eDonkey (client) : port
• eDonkey (server) : server-port
• MLdonkey source sharing extention : mldonkey_ext
• Overnet: overnet_port

For a more comprehensive list look at WhatFirewallPortsToOpen.

[edit] Control ports

You also need to open certain ports if you plan to remote control mldonkey:

• 4080 : http_port
• 4000 : telnet_port
• 4001 : gui_port

If you are running a recent version of mldonkey (>= 2.8.1 cvs) try the portinfo command for a full report of used ports.

[edit] Common questions

• But I'm not the admin of my office/school LAN / I have no control of the router/firewall: Can i still use p2p/mlnet?
• My school/office only give me an http proxy / I can only browse the web and all other ports are closed.

Do you think they could be doing it on purpose?
