ident for multiple PC

[kublai]

Hello All,

Anyone know how to setup ident so multiple PC can connect to mIRC?
Right now I have setup under virtual server / Port Forwarding:

mIRC Chat 6660:6669 192.168.0.9 Both
mIRC DCC 1024:5000 192.168.0.9 Both

But this setup only works for my 1 PC which is 0.9

Thanks in advance for your help.

You will need to use different port ranges for both clients. See if mIRC lets you specify which ports you wish to use for DCC.

Redirecting the whole 1024 to 5000 range is way overkill BTW. You'll potentially create problems with a lot of other applications by redirecting such commonly used ports (especially so low in the range). You shouldn't need more than a few ports for DCC.

You only need to forward the DCC ports, the server connections are outbound only so they should not be forwarded.

your chat port forward rule is wrong anyway. you don't need to open ports 6660-6669 those are the irc server ports, you just need the ident port which is 113.

however, for ident use port triggering instead.

set a port trigger rule with trigger protocol to TCP, set trigger ports to 6660-6669,6697,7000,9999 (basically any and all possible IRC server ports) and set incoming protocol to TCP and incoming port to 113.
now ident should work on all pcs connected to your router.

For DCC you will need to configure each mirc client to use different ports for DCC, so each pc can have its own port forward rule.

Thanks very much for the information.

I have another question. I used port triggering for port 6660:6669 but I could not fit the rest of the ports in so do I have to make a new entry for 6667,6697,7000 and still use port 113 as incoming? Does the router allow you to have multiple instances of incoming 113 ports?

it looks like asuswrt only allows 11 chars in the trigger range field, serious limitation imo.
Also I can't figure out how to specify seperate (non ranged) ports on single line.
So youd have to setup 4 port trigger entries... 1 with the 6660:6669 range, then 3 more for 6697, 7000 and 9999 (all with TCP 113 incoming port). What a piece of crap.

my old d-link will allow 6660-6669,6697,7000,9999 and more if i wanted for a single port trigger entry, (on d-link - is range and , is port seperator.)

Also, I should have mentioned, setting up port triggering will allow ident to work for multiple pc's, but not at the same time...
