I don't even understand why the local info settings exist? They conflict with the firewall settings. Technically this is just for DCC. But when will you use an IP for DCC different than your server IP? Well when your using a proxy. Which you specify in the firewall settings.

To make things more confusing is there is a Bind to IP setting, which localhost seems to ignore.

You have an external IP and at least one internal IP. They may be the same, they may be different. Regardless why doesn't mIRC get BOTH?
