Sorry, I would, but that's not how this router works. :P You don't actually type in a rule like you would on a command-line system, it's all menu-driven. You basically create a rule for a port (or multiple ports), specify TCP or UDP, then after the rule's created, you assign it to a computer. Like I ...

Nope, in this case it's external. It's basically listing for that specific server, which ports on <IP address> forward to it. This is just from the routing overview page listing all the forwards.

it's the router's external IP, it has nothing to do with the functionality though, that's just how my router displays the info. it's basically saying all of those ports are forwarding to my server.

yeah, like I said before, from inside my home network it seems to work fine, but outside it doesn't...and I'm absolutely positive the ports are forwarded correctly.

Home IRC IRC (Internet relay chat) server

I think this is what you're referring to:
listen *:6697;
listen *:7029;
{
options
{
clientsonly;
};
};

listen *:8067;
listen *:21090;
listen *:7029;
listen *:6667;

I put it in both sections just now to try it, and it still does nothing. "Connection refused", and no new entries in the log ...

ok, I got it to try to connect now, but it's failing with "Connection refused". The log file has nothing useful:
[Tue Nov 25 10:22:22 2008] - Connect - steve!steve@localhost [VHOST rox-1F3914C]
[Tue Nov 25 10:22:53 2008] - Disconnect - (0:0:31) steve!steve@localhost [VHOST rox-1F3914C]

It started ...

Ok, I know the server works, I was able to connect directly on the server using the loopback, so I just created a new IRC rule, adding for ports 6667, 8067, and 6697 (TCP and UDP, just in case), but I still can't connect externally, so I don't think it's a router issue, but it also doesn't seem like ...

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I'm having the exact same problem at home. I have the same listen block (copied right out of the example.conf), and my router's firewall (crappy little 2Wire DSL router) has a bunch of built-in firewall exceptions to choose from one of which is for IRC (it forwards ...
