No configuration setting has been changed and the config file in the floppy disk is always the same.
Then I tried to boot up again with the old version (1.3b4) and I have high id and kad connected (not
firewalled).

I noticed this with aMule (very similar to eMule) and version 1.3b6 IIRC. I went back to 1.3b4 which
fixed the problem. I was planning to test it more extensively to confirm my findings but never got
around to it. But you're experience is the same as mine with the same settings, ports forwarded
properly, allowed through firewall etc. Kad is firewalled which suggests to me either the packets
are being blocked when they shouldn't be or mangled by the firewall. BTW kad uses UDP.
