Does ip_nat_irc not work with 2.4.18 ? All my old fserves have stopped
working. If I try logging in from the outside (for, say, a DCC file
xfer), I get "Connection Refused" in the client. I believe it ran fine
with 2.4.17. What's wrong ?



Please help.

I figured it out:

ip_nat_irc.o doesn't track connection going to ports other than 6667.
So, if, initially, you connect to, say, twisted.ma.us.dal.net:6668, then
ip_nat_irc doesn't track your connection. :o(

insmod ip_nat_irc ports=6667,6668,6669,7000 (etcetera)

Hi, from ip_nat_irc.c

-- snip --
* Module load syntax:
* insmod ip_nat_irc.o ports=port1,port2,...port<MAX_PORTS>
*
* please give the ports of all IRC servers You wish to connect to.
* If You don't specify ports, the default will be port 6667
*/
-- snip --

You should change your insmod line for ip_nat_irc to include all port
you're supposed to connect to.

Hope this helps

Best regards.
