The majority of servers I cannot connect to because I have a lowid? How do I fix this? I read that it has to do with a router/hub, but to be honest I have absoloutly no idea how to configure/work with a router/hub.
In layman's terms, what do I need to do to get past this lowid problem?

You are firewalled (most likely) or throttled by your isp To fix lowid problems you need to make sure your route is clear and any firewalls have the appropriate port exceptions: http://www.dead-donkey.com/modules/faq/ ... n=emule#14Check your windows firewall, any security software, and your router.

Right, I have completely disabled my firewall. The problem is... like you said with a router, I have no idea how to go about disabling, re-routing, or even understanding a router.
Im going to go check out that link now, but Im pretty sure thats the one I read thouroughly already. Im just.... appliance-retarded.

I'm noy sure if it's gonna be helpful, but on my router it is categorised under "Advanced setup-->NAT->Virtual servers".

Actually no, they are yellow. However whatever I did do... that apperently wasnt correct.. took me from 6-10kb' per second to 20-40 kb' per second.
I'm pleased with the faster transfer's as is. But if I can get even faster.... I'll have to keep working on it.
I opened the port's on my router and made sure my Firewall was turned off. Spud mentioned that it could be my ISP throttleing me and I have no idea how that can be fixed... if thats the only problem left to solve.

You can't solve your ISP throttling you. But since you still have a low ID, you CAN fix that! The port numbers you opened must correspond with the ones you entered in the Options-> Connection tab. If you have done that, try restarting the router and the PC, that works for me.

You could try changing the ports. Some ISPs block/throttle eMule default ports.

You want to Guenei-pig me? I sure as hell can not spell that word. Ever. Never have been able to. Anyhow, Ill try it out in the morning. Almost midnight here and work has drained me of any fortitude I would otherwise have.
Ill let you know what low port numbers do.
