AmIRC issues...

[alberonn]

Last night I was trying out AmIRC's DDC Send and Recieve options and I was not getting it to transfer at all. It would recognise that someone was trying to send something to me and the guy saw I was trying to send to him. But he couldn't get the file.

We were both behind a router and he suggested that it may be a port forewarding issue. I 'm not too up on this stuff so any help woud be nice.

On a related issue, anytime I try to do a file transfer with AmTelnet, it usually locks up as well. But I don't know if that's just an AmTelnet issue.

Both programs are registered as well.

OK, I got Port forewarding set up on the router, but right now I have ports 8662-8671 set, since that seems to be what AmIRC seems to be using. I can set then if I use TIADCC, (I think,) but I don't know if that'll require more setup on my end.

Does both computers have to have the same port #'s to do DCC stuff?

I do have a Static IP and the DNS set for my Amiga allready. I did that since I wanted to remember what my locak IP address was for any sortof local networking I was planning on doing later. I also had to do it for my Gamecube since that was the reccomended way of setting it up...

I'll give the setTIADCC a peek though...

OK, I setup SetTIADCC and my router with the range you reccomended. But I have yet to test things. I setup the SetTIADCC ARexx script to launch on Connection, as the readme reccomended, but it doesn't run the script. However, it does run fine when I manually run it out of the Rexx menu. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I checked Use TIADCC in Networks and put the range in there as well.

I know it's working when I can see the ENV variable in ENV:

Seeing what goes in there told me I misread what you told me. Yeah, I guess I do need the script to get my actual IP address? LOL

I have yet to test this setup though...

Oh yeah, I'm running AmIRC v3.5.25
