RE: [LARTC] IRC and DCC

["Largo Hellenz" <lamp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i had this same problem... dcc's sent to me after i requested them within a few seconds would work, but dcc's sent to me  minutes after would drop...(can't connect)

 

the solution for me was to install socks5 on gateway only allowing relaying from internal interface and opening up port tcp/1080 (or whatever your socks5 port is) on the external interface for incoming connections.

 

my two questions are:

1) is this a security issue to open up 1080 externally?

2) i can only connect to irc servers that dont require ident.... (ie. underet, but not dalnet)... any ideads?

 

thanks,

fernando pando

There are some modules you need to modprobe.  Try this:

 

    /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_irc

I'll bet there are also others.  Is there some central list of modules and what they do anywhere?

Hello

 

I'm running NAT on my Linux box (192.168.0.1) with this command

 

/usr/local/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ippp0 -j MASQUERADE

 

Everything is working fine, except DCC in IRC.

When I try to send something the remote machine get's "can't connect"

 

Have I missed something, or what?

It does work when I NAT with ipchains, but I like iptables more.

 

Thanks,

   Joachim
