Hi Michele,

i encountered a similar problem (at least for the KAD protocol, ED2K 
working fine but KAD firewalled) and the solution was pretty simple. I 
followed this advice 
http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ_eD2k-Kademlia#Why_does_Kademlia_still_say_it_is_.22firewalled.3F.22

and now my KAD is not firewalled anymore. Just enable advanced outbound 
NAT (under Firewall/NAT/Outbound), add a rule for the ip/subnet which 
should not do portmapping and voila, it should work like a charm. At 
least it worked for me, i am using m0n0 1.3b7. HTH!
