If you need help with IRC ask it here, I'll answer it if I know the answer and if not I'll get the answer.

This is for vondrack:

Port Mapping/NAT32

Ok, ICS will not work with DCC chat over a lan without a Port Mapper.
okay ..
Let me grab the URL for a good freeware port mapper. Freeware Port Mapper URL
If they install a port mapper, they will only be able to use DCC with DCC Server on the specific port they set
so they need to set a specific port in mIRC options?
and the same port on their server?
Port in their DCC Server in mIRC options needs to be same as the one being mapped on the gateway machine.
any URL for doing the gateway setting .. I suppose that varies depending on what software they use
Right ICS Wizard it auto, I recommend they drop $30 and get NAT32 *
NAT32 will allow DCC chat without any extra software NAT32 URL
NAT32 is better by 1000% *
okay .. so they use nat32 to do their port mapping on the gateway computer .. set the client computer (workstation) mIRC to use DCC server and same port .. ?
Now if they are using a router it all work fine with DCC chat, even across subnets and domains because the header information will contain the correct address for the packets.

Thanks, Nimitz, will try playing with the router settings sometime later.
