UnrealIRCd Forums

We just got a new router here and now all of a sudden my IRCd will not let anyone connect. My IRCd version is 3.2.7, My OS is Windows XP, and the router is LinkSys (not sure if you needed that but ill put that just in case). Can you help me get the Unreal to work again? PS they always get Connection Refused no matter which port

Portforwarding perhaps?

care to explain?

ps. i do know how to do some things in there but im not entirely sure how to do everything yet.

Well, I don't use a LinkSys, so I have no idea what precisely to do. Perhaps http://www.portforwarding.com does. Sorry, I can't bring you any further than that.

the link did not work.. any other suggestions?

You can set that one computer to be a DMZ

once again, i am not as good as everyone else here so please explain.

A DMZ on a home network is basically the Computer or Server that will handle ALL traffic from the router unless otherwise forcefully forwarded directly to another computer from the router.

This is basically one way to avoid having to 'Set' forwarded ports to your system, but this will also basically open up your system to all traffic completely unless there are other forwardings set to other computers.

Most routers have some sort of DMZ system, either labeled as DMZ or perhaps as a Static NAT.

Thank you, I also got a friend to help out and i think its working now. If im still having problems ill let you know

EDIT: aparantly its not working.. now the only way i can connect is through localhost.. help?

EDIT2: woops.. the site went down including the DNS host so everything is hopefully back to normal..
