I have a different modem but am also dealing with a port forwarding mess. In the section for my modem it said that the irc and forwarded ports had to match, but I was wondering if they had to be 1024-5000 or 10051-10070, or can you put any #'s in there or what? I don't really know much about forwarding, but in the connect options for IRC it says 6667 for default port, so would you have to change that as well?
