Serving on mIRC w/ Linksys router..how?

[Dudelive]

I have the 4 port linksys router, and I am trying to serve on cable modem on mirc using invision2.0.. How do I configure the router to enable this? also How can I set the router for FTP Serving as well? I have tried DMZ Host but it does NOT work.

Any help is appreciated

The DMZ Host does work for me, But the way you use it is kinda not explained, This is the way I setup an ftp and host games.....
The IP you set in the DMZ is the IP given to the server by the router (found under DHCP and then the clients table)but the IP you give out or that is actually used is the IP assigned to the router by your modem...(found under status tab and the wan IP is the address you make public) I know this works cuz I use it myself.....there is also a firmware update you will need to get if this is the router you are using

BEFSR41 - EtherFast® Cable/DSL Router with 4-Port Switch

1) Forward port 113 to allow IdentD to work.

2) Setting up mIRC DCC
(Thanks to Patrick Fortin-Ducharme for providing this info!)

This is how to setup an IRC Client (Mirc 5.71) and the router (BEFSR41) to send/receive Files by DCC through the Cable/DSL router without using DMZ Host.

In Mirc :
1. Go to DCC, Options, DCC Ports (Assuming that you'll never send more than 10 files at times. If so, set "First" to a lower number.

a ) set "First" to 4990
b) set "Last" to 5000
c) Click OK, and Quit.

On the Router: (I suggest to use 1.33 BETA Firmware or a Firmware that support "Range of Port" in Forwarding)
Set port range to same ports as set above, and IP to the computer that you want to use mIRC DCC on.
