Guest midnight_t Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Hey all.. I have a slight problem with my computer not accepting incoming connections or stopping at one of my ISP's servers at least.. Basically, I have set up an IRC server which is configured correctly, I can connect to it, other servers can link with it etc.. But if anyone tries to connect to it they get a connection refused message.. I have forwarded the port 6667 which is the port clients connect through.. They have tried both my internal and external IP address. So I asked somebody who knows a lot more about computers than myself.. They then proceeded to try ping my external IP.. Which was unsuccessful. After this they did a trace route which would not go any further than one of BigPonds Victorian servers. I will copy command prompts IPCONFIG table: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : sa.bigpond.net.au IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 121.223.151.163 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 121.223.151.164 Here are the results I get from a route print command: =========================================================================== Interface List 0x1 ...........................
