Right now the final thing is what ports do I use to forward it and what do I forward?

you really should keep this all in one thread instead of creating a new one every time if you are on the same subject. Anyway, you can use any port(s) between 1025 and 65535. Ports 0-1024 require root access to bind to, which isn't a good idea. common irc ports are, for clients, 6660-6669, 7000.

Google really is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TC ... rt_numbers IRC uses TCP.

Don't forget 6697 is a common SSL alternative

Thank's for your help. I changed the IP from 127.0.0.1 to my computers IP and then I port forwarded IRCd through ports 6667 - 8067 and I then connected to my IP using port 6667 and it worked perfect now I'm gonna invite one of my friends on through mIRC and see if it works.

Oh and also i went to a website called http://canyouseeme.org/ and tried to 6667 and it said "Success: I can see your service on 217.42.101.110 on port (6667)
Your ISP is not blocking port 6667" So thanks everyone for your help!

Also... do you think people can connect now if I give them my computer IP?

EDIT: Does she connect through my routers IP or my computers IP?

Thanks. It works perfect my friend connected from a different country through my router until i get a DNS address again. Thanks for all your help everyone.
