Thanks for the reply. Let me clarify something. IRC is being port-forwarded "through" the firewall to IRC. ie: you hit my firewall and it sends it to the 192.168.0.2 box running the ircd on port 6667. Is this what you meant? and if so then where would you put ircd at? I am not sure what you mean by port-forwarding "through" IRC. On Tuesday 10 July 2001 05:08 pm, you wrote:
I would not give anyone an account on a firewall and definitely would not port forward through IRC. If you have port forwarding running okay, forward port 22 through the firewall to a local machine and give your friend an account there. personally, I just dont run any irc servers myself, prefering to allow someone else to deal with that security nightmare.
