RE: [newbie] blocked ports?
Hi, To enable DCC through a firewall, I did the following: Configure Xchat to use 2 ports (say 1087 and 1088) for dcc. You can use more, but not less. Configure my firewall to allow 2 ports for dcc. ~brandon -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of magnet Sent: Wednesday, December 25, 2002 5:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] blocked ports?
