I just installed a Belkin ADSL Modem with Wireless-G Router at home to take in missthekids laptop and the two home PCs. Now, I need to find out how to forward a range of ports to my PC. I have so far managed to successfully fwd port 113 for identing, but cannot get it to forward ports 1024-5000 or any other ports i specify for mIRC DCC.  All the searches on the 'net have given the same sorts of instructions, mostly for linksys routers, which just dont seem to work. I am at a bit of a loss for how to set this up properly now. I can receive files fine but cannot send.  Anyone any ideas on how to set this thing up? In the "virtual server" bit i cant add ranges of ports, only one at a time. I tried setting up 5 ports on that and set mirc for those as well, still nothing. This is going to be the big headache in my life at the moment so any advice/suggestions are more than welcome. £5 to the person who fixes it! (bugger netiquette)

cheers dewy, will try anything now [pulls hair out]

well i've pretty much done all that (with the exception of opening 5 ports instead of 1, still better than the 3976 ports mirc uses by default) and the forwarding doesnt seem to be working. I know it should work since i got ident to work already, same way as above but with port 113. I'll keep at it.....

yeah have checked out my dcc settings, it really seems to be some problem with the port forwarding in the router, mirc is definately set up fine i think.

yes lurch, best thing is i even haggled a deal with the guy in comet to throw in a usb wireless dongle to get the belkin, wish i'd just went with the one that didnt look so nice! lol
