Hello,

im using Windows98 and last mIRC, i used to have a fixed ip and everything used to work fine, but my ISP changed to NAT and now everytime i logon my ip changes, on mIRC i have set
on connect always get : localhost and ip address
lookup method : normal

but mIRC does get the ip address which is set in my network card configuration which is my old ip address, so dcc send wont work, but if i get my ip at the moment and put it in the
LocalHost and IP Adress editbox, dcc will work fine, problem is that i cant do that everytime since my ip changes everytime i logon, any suggestion ?

thanks in advance

Try changing the lookup method to Server.

Hello, did it, then it doesnt get anything, both ip and localhost boxes are blank...

You have to reconnect to the server after you change it, or just use the /localinfo -u command. Some (very odd) servers may not support it.

Hello, i've done it and it worked, but the problem is that i use a bouncer, and it gets the ip of the bouncer instead of mine..when im not in the bouncer it works fine though. any suggestions?

Type //echo -a $ip. Does it give you the correct IP? There might be a way to script a solution.

Hello,

//echo -a $ip gives the BNC ip.

also, i have to note that for the LocalHost and IP Address Field to be filled, i have to type /localinfo -u, else it just stays blank.

thanks in advance
