I'm not sure if this is the "appropriate" place to be asking a question like this. So, here goes. I'm having problems with IRC (ircII is my client). DCC sends and DCC gets specifically. It seems like I can only successfully get and send from my local machine. I've played around with UFW (Firewall program), to no avail. And, AFAIK, I do have the proper router settings. Which are forward port 113, and ports 2070 to 2075. Also, I have the same results when the firewall is disabled. I'm not sure what to do from here on.
I have several shell accounts, and have had people on IRC try to DCC send me things, and I send them things. These systems have IRC (be it BitchX, iircII, Irssi, etc) installed. It simply does not work.The only time it does in fact work, is when I send/get locally. Ie, from my own system. From the console, when I invoke IRC on it. Here is the error message that I get on a failed attempt:
Unable to create connection: Bad file descriptor
On the shell accounts, the shell being used is bash. Not sure what my friends are using. And I am using Linux (Debian) as my OS.
