Emule not Connecting (Solved)

Today March 11, 2013 I had trouble connecting emule to the network.  I noticed emule would connect, and two minutes later it would disconnect.  This went on all day until I finally figured out the solution.

In order to connect to the eD2k network, you must access the emule/eDonkey server list.  
From here copy the eDonkey server No2 IP Port (should be the first one listed) and paste it into the IP or Address box under "Servers"(emule) than click on connect.  A list of servers should appear, meaning you are connected to the network.

To connect to the "Kad" network, you must check the "Nodes.dat from URL" option and recheck firewall.  A list of contacts should appear, meaning you are connected to the Kad network.

(Update)
After connecting emule to the network, I noticed very slow downloads and uploads.   If this happened to you, click on emule options.  From here, click on connections and uncheck the download and upload limits.  Now there are no limits, meaning no more slow downloads and uploads.  If this doesn't work for you, please feel free to leave a comment explaining your issue.  Thank you
