Has anyone got DCC sends via a IRC fserv to work behind a router?

Anyone using IRC behind a router (ie 7004br, 314 etc). And able to send and receive files?

If so which router are you using?

yeah, piece of cake, you port-forward.
just about every router has this feature, I use a linksys.

yes i know that. i just have noticed that a lot of people complain that they cant get it working. one guy in a post a few weeks ago, opened ALL ports and still couldnt get it to work.

I sent a file to my brother through MIRC just last night. I have the SMC 4 port router. I have port 59 (for dcc transfers) forwarded. (in the &quot;virtual server&quot; section)

I also have in my &quot;special AP&quot; section, port 59 set as a trigger and incoming ports 5000-7000 set (although I'm not certain if this is required to make it work or not, I can't remember why I set it, I must have read something).

Correct port mapping is the key.

I have the SMC 7004br and I FINALLY figured it out
I have one line in the special AP section and it makes everything work in mIRC, I can fserve and do dcc sends. If I recall right you only have to open about 10 ports. It has nothing to do with ANY of the dcc port send options in irc. The only setting it has to do with is the initial port that you connect to dal.net on. I'm not at home right now so I can't look to see what exactly it is but I'll post it sometime tonight when I go home. It took me a week to figure this stuff out.

Well all I know is what I did works.

sweet, thanks for the responses

Okay this is what I have.

First thing is that you have to specify what port to connect to dal.net on.
DCC->Options->Connect. Now select what server you will be connecting to. I usually use the new york server but whatever you decide. Now go to edit, which is right next to where you select your server. Now under ports it probably says something like 6667-6669, 7000. These will all be triggers in the Special Ap section. In my case I simply limited this to port 7000 so that it will always connect on 7000 so I only need to have one trigger.
Okay now this is how mIRC handles things

mIRC DCC / IRC DCC - OUT TCP 7000 (In my case because I limited this in the edit section)
mIRC Chat - OUT TCP 100, IN TCP 101
mIRC Fserve - OUT TCP 110, IN TCP 111
mIRC IDENT - IN UDP 113
mIRC Send - OUT TCP 120, IN TCP 121
mIRC Get - OUT TCP 130, IN TCP 131, OUT TCP 132

I know that you probable don't have to open the outgoing ports because those aren't blocked by the router but I did anyway just in case. You can try it with only opening the incoming ports and see if it works.

Special Applications

ID Trigger Incoming Ports
1 7000 100,101,110,111,113,120,121,130-132,7000


This is the only way that I've been able to get everything including fserving to work while using the SMC router. If anyone has a different way using less ports then let me know.
