| Cisco EPC2425 router, huge problem so i switched to another ISP 2 months ago and i got this new cisco router.. but now i REALLY need to use IRC, internet relay client, and i can't. i tried from my sister's computer and it's exactly the same. i tried 2 irc clients, one is called mIRC other icechat, they both have the same problem - when i try to join a channel i give the command /join #channel ok? and i receive the message "OIN unknown command" that's because the command hasn't been properly sent to the server. the "j" letter was missed. other times whole commands are missed. if i do a /list to get the server's channel list. or i do "/whois alex" i get "alex unknown command" because the /whois has been missed entirely! i searched on google, i found this stuff called port forwarding and ok, this fixed a very small issue, that of the ident server which never affected me. i tried every configuration of the router - to remove firewall, to enable/disable upnp, port forwarding to all possible ports etc. NOTHING worked! and it's also 13 - i always get bad luck on 13. i really need to use irc ok? please help me! |

Can you post a screenshot of said behavior? Tell you right now in my experience it has NOTHING
to do with the EPC2425 and more likely the application or PC itself.

| ok man so as i said before - i tried from my sister's computer, i had to install mirc because she didn't use this kind of software, and it's exactly the same problem. i wrote on other forums as well and i got a little help - if i use port 6660, it works just fine. the problem is?.... many irc servers don't support port 6660! some only support 6667 which is the default for irc. i also tried proxy server, which worked too but i need to set up a private proxy, undetected in order to have access to all irc servers.. some friends on the net said they would help me with this if all else fails. some guy said i should set up a NAT entry?.... but i don't really know about nat right now, i'll look into it. also public dns from google which i'll learn too.. and err?... you want screenshot.. ok here it is. look at the lines with "unknown command" those are the usual errors

That's a cable modem. So you have two options... 1) put it in bridge mode and use a router that isn't full of bugs. 2) complain to your ISP and get them to fix their buggy crap. There's nothing we can do about Cisco's bugs. (I've never seen an IOS based device do that. This would be a bug in it's IRC protocol handler.) |

What about a screenshot of what you actually type in the commandline of IRC?
Only other thing I can think of is is find someone with the same provider and model of
modem as well, if they're having the same problem then it points to the modem or the PC.
If they don't have the problem, it's the PC.
I can understand your frustration, this is why it's called troubleshooting.
