Okay, getting annoying.

I have a D-Link DI604 and Norton AV. Problem is, eMule just won't fucking work anymore.

I've tried setting my PC to DMZ in the router settings, AFAI could tell I opened the necessary ports on the router and firewall, granted access to eMule and uTorrent in Norton, but they still tell me that the ports are restricted.

uTorrent downloads, but eMule is a disaster. It connects with LowID, finds sources for files, but it wont download or even upload anything! Not even a single byte.

Any ideas?

I forgot to add that it all worked fine before I installed the router, it might even have worked after I installed the router.

kinda shady topic, but:

Why does eMule not connect ?
It may take a while until eMule is connected as servers may be down or not responding. If eMule will not connect at all make sure that you have a recent server list and check if any software like firewalls, routers, dial in software is blocking eMule's traffic. You can easily check this using the Port Tester functionality found in Options Connection Clientport Test Ports.
You may also check Options Server Autoconnect to static servers only. If it is checked and you do not provide a staticservers.dat with valid servers eMule will not connect.

from their faq

Yeah, it tells me that the ports are blocked.

I just spent like 20 minutes removing my router from the equasion, turning off Norton and Windows firewall. It still says my ports are blocked.

My ISP will be getting an angry call Monday morning

Your ISP is probably using traffic shaping to stop customers from downloading from services used primarily for copyright infringement and, like it or not, this is a fairly common practice. They aren't going to care that you can't download illegal materials on their network and expose them to potential litigation.

Juggs was right though; this topic is pretty shady and its being locked since uTorrent (which at least has legitimate uses) is working fine and your question has been adequately answered.
