Cant send files over IRC, i guess this has something to do with my firewall ?

[FaTs]

Can send files over an FTP m but in irc it just wont work, I'm using the in bulit firewall in my router.

Thanks

I'm guessing it's a Linksys Router? Somewhere in the manual it tells you which ports you have to open in order to send/receive files over mIRc and ICQ.

But what I do is just set my IP as the DMZ Host when I want to send something, that away I dont have to leave any ports open and then when I'm done I just set it back to where I'm hidden from the internet.

Hehe, no problem. I had the same problem, only with ICQ.

for me to send files, i set this up in mirc 5.82 (works in other versions i'm sure too)


options --> local info


check
local host (ip adress should check itself too but be shaded)
then for lookup method, make it normal, and if that doesnt work, try server, and it SHOULD work.
