Hi:
I have DSL and i have been using mIRC for a while now. I could connect to say UnderNET with two clients of IRC one for me, on as a fserver. I recently put in a D-Link 704-P router to share DSL throughout the house. Now if i try to connect with more than one instatance i get a msg "Error: Closing Link: Jasen21[unknown@dsl-64-129-167-25.telocity.com] (Too many user connections (local)) " . Also i have lost the DCC ablility to send and Chat. I can recieve. I set my PC in the DMZ of the firewall so it shouldn't be blocking any traffic, but if anyone has suggestions PLEASE HELP
thank you

I had the same problem with my DI-614+. Today I set the router firewall DMZ for this machine and it resolved the DCC send problem. Might I suggest if you do that ...you should run Zone Alarm Pro, so you are not wide open to the internet.

Hey, Thnkx for the suggestion
I have it in the DMZ already and run Sygate Pro... (never liked ZoneAlarm) lol
I don't know i can recieve files fine, but it wont send, and DCC CHat doesn't work at all.
Yea that is the same problem I had.....but on my router it corrected the problem

sounds like you need to do some port forwarding in your router, then put those ports in mIRC's options file/options/dcc/options where you see the default of 1024-5000. (I assume your dsl settings arent the problem) Also be sure mIRC is getting the external ip for machine, not internal network one.
when you can recieve but not initiate sends/chats, usually means either mIRC isnt getting the correct ip or the ports are blocked someplace, like router/firewall/dsl settings.
hmm.. i am running DSL on my desktop and using Internet Connection Sharing (the one free from microsoft) to my laptop thru LAN.
I am facing the same problem..i can receive.. but i can never send out. I have tried turning off my Zonealarm. but it doesnt solve the problem.. both my systems stil can't send out.
My systems are picking up the external ip fine. I have checked under local host and dns my own nick to confirm it.
can anyone help me here? did i leave something out?
Tried no firewall. still doesnt work.
The prob could be either in your dsl settings (did they give you a place and password to web or telnet into to adjust?) or with your lan or ICS. ICS is what i would look into first. check out these urls: mIRC and ICS help :

hmm.. thanks.. any idea what to do if both my systems are running win98se? =op
so far all the info i've found works only with windows 2000. i simply cant find anything similar to what they are refering to in my win98se :tongue:
try this site:
