Linksys Router

Post by SL|MK »

I have instaled a Linksys Router that uses NAT firewall. Now i can not dcc with the bot.

I found the section in the complete config file about if you are useing NAT firewall. No matter what ip i set there the bot will not accept my dcc chat.

I am the bot owner and have no masters set on it. What can i do?

Any help is greatly appreciated...

you need to port forward the portrange used by your irc client for incoming dccs to your box (mirc defaults to 1024-5000, this can be changed in options). Alternativly try /ctcp bot chat

well, i had the same problem, i dont know if you'd wanna do it this way tho...but it works for me..
enable DMZ for that pc (in the router advanced settings page), in the irc Connect-Local Info options put this,
Local host: your routers ip (192.168.1.1) ?
IP Address: your internet ip, whatever it may be..
and uncheck those two "on connect, always get.." boxes...
