I am running aMule 2.3.1 and have received the following messages in aMule log file:

2014-12-14 08:57:49: Most likely this is because you're behind a firewall or router.

Rep:
If you don't have a firewall that blocks all incoming connections on your Slackware box,
than "most likely this is because you're behind a firewall or router."
If this is the problem, you can use upnp to automaticaly open needed ports on the router,
but this is considered a security breach.
Or you must open those ports manually on the router. I think the ports are those in the
Preferences-Connections windows:
Standard tcp port, udp port (tcp+3), extended udp.

Rep:
Is your Slack box a router? I don't have experience with this configuration, but
maybe if a host on the private lan is using those ports, this can create problems.
Another point of view is your ISP is blocking edonkey network ports.
Try changing aMule default ports to high ports, above 45000.
Also maybe there is another program acting as a server on your machine using the same ports
that aMule is trying to use.
I've always connected to the internet through a router+firewall, so I don't have experience
with directly connection and port problems.
What I saw was that, in the Searches window, no matter what I wrote, the program found nothing. And the aforementioned message. But the machine had been turned on for several days. I have just now reboot and everything went back to normal. Thanks anyways.
Each time I click on a link to test the ports associated with aMule I get
Code:
Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.
Web Server at amule.org
with the title '404 Not Found'. For example, in http://wiki.amule.org/wiki/Get_HighID there is the link "aMule's test port page". Clicking it gets the above message. Can this be due to interference from my ISP? If not, what else?
There seems to be something wrong with the graphical interface because 'Extended UDP port' is shaded but the port number is not. The two files I am downloading (actually three but one of them progresses at 1 byte per hour) are being transferred at about 1MB/hour and they are over 1GB in size. There are some 30 lines of printed information in the Statistics window, but I don't know how to post them. There is a ~/.aMule/statistics.dat file but, as the name implies, it is not a text file. If I'm using aMule at all it's because it has a search facility and in my country thepiratebay is currently being blocked by all the ISPs by an order emmanated from the goverment. But I'm being told there is a bittorrent downloader (qbittorrent, available in slackbuilds) with which you can search the web too. So I think I will install this and forget about the eDonkey network, as I think very few people use it these days and almost everybody uses bittorrent.
What is the server.met file? I can see there is one in ~/.aMule/.
nice SS of the amule settings
but did you open the 4 ports IN THE OPERATING SYSTEM
tcp 4662
tcp4663
tcp4664
udp 4665
Those 4 need to be OPENED on the OS
and or if a router is involved forwarded
mind you i gave up on using donkey a while ago
seeing as most things are served up with a virus preinstalled
or the video or pdf ( and jpg's exif ) is hacked to include malicious software
or
the MPPA and LEO's are actively running honey pots
the final straw was not being able to keep a CLEAN "server.met" file
when trusted sites started to edit it to point to the LEO's or to the hacked servers
