Linksys Router and DCC sends

[dabuddha]

I think this is the right forum for this

I can't get dcc sends to work using my router
its a minor pain but i'd love to get it working if anyone knows how
i've got the BEFSR41
thanks for any help

You using mIRC? If so try sending to their IP instead of their nick.

i've tried that as well but that only works if they have a dcc server enabled
its something with the router thats the problem which i can't figure out
doesnt work in bx either

I am able to DCC send people from behind my router... there is a way.. I'm not sure the exact way though. Keep trying.

Do you have the router blocking any of the ports?
I think DCC sends use a diff port than what mIRC uses for chat so you may want to check on that. I don't use a router but I do use firewall software and just having the mIRC port open was not good enough. I disabled the firewall briefly and bang there goes the send. I forget which port it ended up being I'll try and check when I get home.

that'd be great if you can
i don't have any ports currently blocked at the moment
i've tried everything i can think of and can't figure it out
even tried to specify a port in bitchx but still no go
