Use eMule and aMule (Linux version) with a high ID

To get an access to your files faster than with eMule and aMule we should get a high ID and to do that we must make passing the channels of communication used outwards.
To do so from the main menu of the modem (Fig. 2) select the DHCT Table of fig.5 which shows us the IP addresses assigned to the PC that are currently online.

Suppose that enrico2 is the PC running eMule or aMule we have IP assigned, in this case IP is 192.168.1.35, next we return to the main page of the modem (Fig. 2) by pressing the Main Menu.
From the main menu, select NAT and we will have the page of fig.6

CAUTION:
If you turn off the modem and then switch it on most likely will change the IP address of enrico2 and you must reconfigure the NAT page.


Setting up a WiFi connection for secure access


It 'a good idea to configure the WiFi network in order to have an access to the safest possible though, remember always, WiFi networks are always to be decrypted, the secure access is to connected the PC to the cable modem.
Usually the Libero modem comes with WiFi free access that allows anyone in the area to connect to our modem.
The advice is to change the access WiFi enabling WEP encryption.
