It is very unlikely that bucharest changed the IP and port. It is far, far more likely that you're running a NAT firewall with a module to translate DCC requests "properly"--such things exist for Linux. Ircu doesn't have the resources to spare to look for DCC requests and translate them in this fashion. -- Kevin L. Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
