How can I use eDonkey behind my D-Link router?

eDonkey uses three ports (4 if using CLI):

4661 (TCP) To connect with a server

4662 (TCP) To connect with other clients

4665 (UDP) To communicate with servers other than the one you are connected to.

4663 (TCP) *Used with the command line (CLI) client when it is configured to allow

remote connections. This is the case when using a Graphical Interface (such as the
Java Interface) with the client.
