IRC DCC

Reclined
I cannot get DCC Send in IRC to work. It just times out. Dcc Recieve works fine.

We have a single outside IP address using astaro to masquerade the internal network.

Its not a packet filter rule, cause we have tried it with Any(in) Any (out) rules.

So does anyone know something I'm missing?

    hiya Reclined and Orjan (sorry cannot produce the slashed "O"   [;)] ),

    DCC reverses sender and receiver (the receiver initiates the data connect). Weird - but thats like it is.

    Effect: Connect from Receiver gets stuck in Masq. !

    Solutions: 
    1. Use SOCKS for IRC & DCC (best)
    OR
    2. Set fixed DCC port range for each client (in Mirc, DCC->Options) and DNAT that range to each client.

    This is a generic masquerading problem.   [:)]

    Thanks Tom, I'll see what I can get set up.
    If you want the Ø, just try a copy-paste? ;-)
