| Bumped to add this. Dcc Sends. Most people should learn how to do this because it allows for things like quick sends, fserves, dcc chats, and other things. I use it because you dont always want to give people you met on irc your aim/msn/ftp info to send them something.
Before we start you need access to your router and knowledge of how to forward ports to your computer. This means you should also have a static ip on your network (so its always fowarded to the right comp).
1. Open the mirc options window (folder + hammer icon).
2. Connect > Options: Click advanced.
3. Check dcc and enter the port range you want. Make it a small range and something random between 2000-5000. I use 4880-4885. Keeps it off regularly used ports. You dont need 5 ports, I just happen to do a number of fserve things on other servers. 2-3 ports should be plenty. (other example ranges could be 3465-3467 or something).
4. Make sure randomize ports is UNchecked and hit ok and close mirc options.
5. Forward those same ports to your computer in your router configuration
6. To test, right click on someones name and to dcc > send to send a file.
If people want I can also write a few more tutorials on how to do some simple irc scripting for things like fserves and alias/text commands. Mirc is probably one of the most customizable programs out there, its just that most people dont know how to use it. |
