Re: getting mirc to dcc I am assuming your ISP gives you a dynamic IP address, so try this out:
- Log onto the Linksys router and visit the SETUP tab (should be there by default).
- Check/select the option for obtaining an IP automatically.
- Select the LAN IP for your Linky (defaults to 192.168.1.1).
- Select the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
- Click APPLY
- Wait a few seconds before clicking "CONTINUE" (I've noticed the Linky takes a second to program itself, can't hurt to let it do its thing).
- Select the DHCP tab
- Select "Disable DHCP server"
- Click APPLY
- Click "CONTINUE"
- On your PC, give it a static IP address of 192.168.1.5 (if you gave the Linky 192.168.1.1) I usually leave a gap between the gateway and my workstations just in case I want to add a service in the lower-end IP address range in the future.
- Give the PC a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
- Reboot PC
If this still doesn't work, then it is possible that you either have another device on the network squatting on one of the IP addresses you've assigned, or you have the subnets set up improperly.
Just a basic review, 192.168.XXX.YYY is a private range of addresses not routeable on the public internet. If you have the router using 192.168.1.YYY, then (in most home environments) you'll want your PCs to use 192.168.1.YYY, as well. Only the fourth group of numbers should differ on your LAN for each device. Make certain you don't have the router in the 192.168.1.255 subnet and your PC in a different subnet (such as 192.168.0.255).
You shouldn't assign '0' or '255' as the last part of an IP address, since these are broadcast addresses.
