Amirc XDCC still doesnt work.

[Ronky]

Ok...

I have the following config:

ADSL --> PC --> Amiga

Everything here is connected through ethrnet cables, so I have decent LAN and internet access in both machines.

The thing is I can recieve files through AMIRC using xdcc as I've always done, BUT I can NOT send files to anybody because they only see my local host.

Since I'm using WinbugsXP I really don't have much idea what can I move there to fix this up.

I've installed TIADCC from aminet (and read the docs too) and I've also tried to set manually the ports and IP in Amirc Config having no success yet.

Can someone please guide me through this? I'm not really a winbugs expert, as a matter of fact, I know very little ab out this operation system. So I'll apreciate any help you guys can give to me.

Thanks in advance
Ronky

So you are using the build in internet sharing of winXP? That would explain it..
You should instead use for example winroute, and forward some ports for the dcc, to the ip of the amiga box. The standard dcc send ports are "1024-5000" but the ports can usually be set in the irc clients settings. Afaik, the built in routing of XP does not support port forwarding, not really 100% sure though.

This is a flaw of the winxp routing software, not the amiga or amirc  :-)

So I need to download  Winroute? do you know of a freeware version?

Thank you!

Sadly it is shareware, do not know any freeware routing software on windows that supports port forwarding  :-(  
However if you have linux, you have even better routing software which is totally free  :-)

But anyway, check your private message
