Re: getting mirc to dcc Well, it's like this: I'm more than ignorant about these things, hehe. All I know is that the setup I have now works great. The two hosts: 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 are, of course, my two PC's I have on my LAN. I have the "Ident server" checked in mIRC on both machines. I was told that I needed to replicate the settings for all computers that will be using the same application, e.g., mIRC. Since my wife uses the other computer and rarely if ever sends/receives files in mIRC, I didn't plug in different ports for the DCC item. But using Port 113 for both hasn't caused any problems. Without adding 113, it would take upwards of 1 minute to connect to an IRC server. With it added, connection is bascially instantaneous.
Now, if I have failed to answer your question, please realize that it wasn't intentional. I'm just ignorant.

Bay Area | Instead of forwarding IDENT I trigger it. That way it will work on all PCs that I have here. And so you guys know you can't forward IDENT to 2 systems at the same time. The same port can't be forwarded to 2 different systems. I think that is how it works.

| Again, to unabashedly show my ignorance, are you saying that what I have now theoretically shouldn't work? I have had both PC's connected to the same IRC server and everything worked fine. We even sent/received files to each other using mIRC. But if this isn't what you were referring to, in my best Gilda Radner (Rosannanadana impression) NEVER MIND!

That is correct. Technically it shouldn't I don't see how the same ports can be forwarded to the 2 different systems at the same time. But it works, nothing short of amazing.

Pilgrim, 1 of those forwards is active, 1 is not. Last time I checked the first one is active. Forwarding to 2 machines is not possible with TCP as we know it today.
Now... will it work? Very possible. There's absolutely no reason your .2 box cannot IDENT reply for the .3 box. The IRC server doesn't care. I use 1 box to answer ALL IDENT requests here.
Why not satisfy your own curiosity? Enable the mIRC option to display IDENT replies on both machines. Which one gets all the requests? Keep in mind you usually get a request at IRC server connect time. |

| Bill,
Hey, I'm learning as I go here!  So, if I read you right, what you are saying and suggesting is that I can remove the mirc Port 113 entry for the #3 box and all should still work fine, eh?
Thanks for being patient with this old dog!

| Jeff, IRC is not the easiest of concepts to get down - it has a legacy that makes no real sense to the new user.
For instance, IDENT is a little check when you connect to an IRC server that evolved from UNIX systems so the person logged in a workstation can be identified. It's also used in some FTP and mail situations. It's virtually obsolete, now, but hangs on to this day though it makes little sense in most Windows systems. Also, it has no direct use for DCC files and chat - just the initial IRC server connection.
How old? I just turned 48. |

| Bill,
That all makes sense, believe it or not! hahaha...... Now, how old am I? Well to get the answer to that question, I humbly suggest you drop me a private message and we can go from there, since such trivia is surely OT here. BTW, I used to frequent "Malaga Pipes" in Royal Oak when I lived near there. Give me a shout if you are so inclined!
