How to enable DCC with Firestarter?

[z-vet]

Hi all.
I can´t recieve files from others on IRC channels using DCC. I created rules allowing connections to ports 59 and 6667, but it still seems to be blocked. :confused: Any way to enable it?

Maybe you forgot to click 'Apply policy' button after setting the rules ;)

I checked ´Apply policy changes immediately´ in Firestarter´s config, so there is no need to click ´apply´. I even created policy to allow everyone´s connections on ports 1024-5000, but with no success, it´s still blocked... Something other?

Probably a really obvious thing, but do you use a router with internal firewall?

You also might want to check to make sure you don't have the default FC firewall running. I use Firestarter myself but after I first installed it I was having similar troubles because Firestarter and the default firewall were conflicting. Applications/System Settings/Security Level/Firewall Options: Disable Firewall.
