Mudfish Nodes

This section describes information if you have a problem to communicate with Mudfish nodes (not master server).

Changing Connection Protocol​

  • As default, Mudfish could communicate with Mudfish nodes based on TCP (port 10008) and UDP (port 10008) based. And default is UDP-based.

  • If you feel that your connections are blocked by network firewall, you can change the connection protocol from one to another

    • At 'Setup → Program', you can see these options.

      Connection protocol settings

    • If you're enabled Expert Mode , you can see more options for connection protocol. For examples,

      • TCP (Port 10008)
      • TCP (Port 443)
      • TCP (Port 10006)
      • UDP (Port 10008)
      • UDP (Port 53)
      • UDP (Port 10006)

Try different protocols and ports, and test another node as well: some combinations may be unavailable on a particular node. See Connection Protocol for the differences. After making a change, run the basic functionality test to verify the connection.

Changing Mac Address​

Some network firewall blocks based on Mac address of your NIC card. With googling you can find a lot of links about how to change it for example,

If your computer connects through a router, change the router's Internet-facing MAC address according to its manual. The option and location vary by router, and some models do not support it.

If the Internet cable connects directly to your computer, locate that adapter and check its advanced driver settings for “Network Address” or “MAC Address”. Some drivers do not support changing it.
