How do I get onto IRC? I just got a router, and it wont let me log on anymore.

You need to forward the correct ports. Try doing a search here in Networking or Off Topic to see if you can find the thread that mentioned what ports to forward. I can't remember what ports they were exactly, but I'll see if I can find the thread.
 
You need to read the instructions for your router to find out how to open the ports you need. Each brand is different.
 


<< is forwarding a port the router jargon for opening a port? >>



No. forwarding a port is NAT "jargon" for forwarding packets to a particular port on the external ip address to a port (typically the same port) and ip address on the internal network.
