Able To Send With Mirc, But Can Not Recieve?

[newmem]

Hello.

I am new to this whole IRC thing so bear with me. You will probably ask me some questions that I will not understand.

I am trying to be able to recieve a file from my buddy. When he trys to send it and I accept it nothing happens. I can send him files just fine. We thought it might be my firewall. But even when I turned the firewall off it behaved the same way.

Any thoughts/questions?

Thanks

Welcome to the board.

Here is something to check:
Assuming you use mIRC like most of us here...

Code:

mIRC Options > DCC > Ignore > Accept Only

If your friend is sending you a file that has an extension which is not listed there, you won't receive it.

Personally I just disable it.

Cheers,

Yea and be sure to turn this off, uncheck it:

"Turn ignore back on in:"

Or else it just turns right back on like it says.

If that does not work are you behind a router?

cya,

Fellas, thanks for the suggestions. But unfortantly I have already done the things that you have suggested.

Will, I am not behind a router. I just have Norton's Firewall. But like I said, it acts the same if the fire wall is enabled or disabled.

Any other thoughts?

Hi newman,

Are you using any particular script? Or are you using the normal Mirc script?

[newmem]

As far as I know I am using just the normal mIRC. I have not changed anything other than what I have mentioned here.... Thanks.

Try have your friend send someone else a file. Make sure it's not him who has the problem.

Also, try send a file to someone else yourself.

Also, make sure the damn WinXP firewall is not enabled.

you may be getting a proper "ident". try changing "ident" settings in mirc.
