If it gives you the option of forwarding ALL ports to the internal
computer, try that. Then you will know if you have a port forwarding
problem (i.e. not enough ports forwarded). From memory you need ports
59/tcp and ports 1024-65535/tcp open for mirc to work correctly for dcc
out-of-the-box. There are configurations you can make to mirc to
encourage it to use specific ports though. Remember that DCC
"downloads" are really incoming connections and are initiated by the
remoter dcc server, not by the client, so this is why you need to
port-forward ports on your firewall.

Hey folks, I've been trying to resume downloads in Mirc using this
router but it dosn't work. I know its got something to do with the ports
and the router acting as a firewall but I cant work it out.
There is a setting called Virtual Server in the router setup where you
can specify an internal port, external port and the IP addy of the comp
you want it to foward to (at least I think thats what it all means),
I've tried fowarding the ports specified for DCC in Mirc and still it
wont resume. Any suggestions?
Keir.
