Forums Connection Issues Unable to Resolve Local Host DCC Problems! HELP!!!

i am trying to share files with others on: #somechannelname. I am using SPR Jukebox v8.7-rc4. I set it up as directed by the instructions included with the installer program for it. i used to be able to share files with toehrs, but now i can't for some reason! everytime i try to DCC Send someone a file it keeps saying Unable to Resolve Local Host. I read the DCC Send Problems Thread under Connection Issues, and followed those instructions as well and setup mIRC and my Linksys Router to work with a firewall and DCC Sends/Receives, but it still does not work. I have looked around on here and have not seen any posts that answered this question for me so I decided to post it. Someone, please help me i'm desperate to get this fixed!

In mIRC, type /help local info for some things to try

Since all was working fine pre-SPR, i would suggest contacting whoever created it to see if they have encountered this. Cant say whether its relevant now, but a few years ago ppl using SPR consistently had probs with dcc, and since it hexed mIRC i couldnt even hazard a guess as to what it did to muck things up then.

In Mirc a DCC send error for local host normally means that your mirc has not gotten the proper External IP address to use.

Look in Options, Local Host and see what it has for your IP address.

If it has a 192.x.x.x it is not correct.

On your linksys router, go to the status page.

There you will find your external IP address.

Just type that IP address into the local host settings dialog box for the IP address.

Your post says you have followed the instructions for having the linksys router do the port forwarding properly, so this will be the problem.

I know cause it did happen to me. I do use a Linksys router and i followed the instructions for the forwarding of the ports for mirc to use for dcc and was not able to send.

SPR Jukebox only sends to people when they use the proper request command.

You will not be able to send with SPR unless you can manually use the /dcc send command to send a file to someone else.

whenever you have a problem sending a file, try using the normal mirc /dcc send <nick> <file1> command.

This will tell you that mirc is having the problem and not the script your using.
