Port fowarding with DI-604 + mIRC

[ftcnt]

Im dealing with an old problem that wont go away....when i try to send out a dcc transfer, it doesnt work. i can received a transfer but I cant send anything out. I've tried it without connecting to my router and i can send and receive properly.

ive set up my ports properly (forward ports 2070-2075). i've tried different ranges as well (higher and lower port numbers) and still no luck. and im using mirc 6.16 and a di-link 604 wired router.

i followed the advice posted on another forum and went to »support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id..

i played with the settings and went »firewalling.com/dlink/di-604-firewall... no luck !

it fixed the problem initially (using the dlink site) but after one reboot the same thing happened. i cant connect and send files but i can receive them. any idea what is happening. i dont have a software firewall, running windows xp pro (firewall disabled).

any clues,thoughts or where i can turn to for help ?

thanks

A neighbor of mine once had that router... my apologies.

It confused me there were like two spots for forwarding ports if memory serves me (this was maybe a year ago or longer). Very cumbersome and didnt work well.

They ended up breaking down and spending $40 on a linksys router.

If you're confident you've setup the router correctly, make sure you have mIRC correctly configured to use those specific ports.

(Hint: Options->Connect->Options->Advanced. Fill in the range, and uncheck Random Ports. Also might be useful to bind sockets to your [external] IP address in that window.)
