The DCC Send Option in IRC Application Does Not Work

ID: Q165337

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Proxy Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

The DCC Send option in the IRC application does not work because some changes were added to the specification that describes how to make this option work. These changes were not added as part of the Proxy Server Setup program.

WORKAROUND

NOTE: By following the guidelines below, the users have almost unlimited access, so the administrator needs to decide if he/she wants to enable this IRC feature.

1. Edit the IRC protocol definition in the WSP admin, and add port

   range for subsequent connection 1024-5000 for TCP inbound
   connections.

2. Add a section to the configuration file similar to the following:

   ["IRC application name"]
   RemoteBindTcpPorts=0

3. If the IRC application is MIRC, click Setup on the File menu, and

   select Local Info. In the IP Address field, type the Internet
   IP address of the Proxy Server.

STATUS
