Hi, I have a router so I have to open up ports (i choose 1024-5000) to allow mirc to send files to my buddy, but the problem is that it times out every hour or so, and i think its related to the ports. Somehow i think the ports are getting disabled or something like that, so then I have to go back to my router seetings and re enter those ports. Does anyone know why this happens? Is my router old? (Its a D-Link 604) Something in mirc settings I have to change? Thanks and any help is appreciated.
