Whenever I'm running through my router I have trouble connecting to the IRC. I'm using Mirc as my client and Windows 2000 server. I'm on @Home. It works fine if I don't use the router. Here's what I get:

-wombat.va.us.dal.net- *** Looking up your hostname...
-wombat.va.us.dal.net- *** Checking Ident
-wombat.va.us.dal.net- *** Found your hostname

It just hangs at that point.

Any ideas?

Someone else had the same problem, and a person suggested forwarding port 113 on your router. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Try this The link is for a Linksys router, but it should be the same for the Barricade.

I'm not exactly sure how to do that. Is that in Setup > Advanced > Special Application?

Anyone else have any ideas?
