Message-ID: <20010208163653.B31943@office.naver.co.id> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline X-Mailer: Mutt 1.2.5i on FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT i386 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi folks... I have never deal with IRC before. Now, I need to get a working machine for IRC client only. I am running tight ipfw rule (deny all), so, what port to open to allow IRC connection. Is IRC connection like FTP, HTTP, or neither? I setup my machine to allow all "out" connection, so connecting to port 6667 of the server seems to be not a problem, but when the server need to contact the client, it can't (of course). Now, what port do I need to open so the server can "chat" to the client easily? Thanks... /john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
