Try a differant port (i.e somewhere in rang the 4000) and use users helps with security. Example:  _________________ TCL the misunderstood |

Generally, port number could be anything in between 1'025 and 65'535, although it is recommended not going above 40'000 (as these are most often used by NAT, etc). Of course, system admins may impose further restrictions as to which ports you are allowed to use.
Also, the port you wish to use must, obviously, be free for use (no other programs listening at that port).
In any case, nice to hear you got it working. _________________ NML_375, idling at #eggdrop@IrcNET |
