when i try to send in mirc i get "unable to resolve local host"

im using a netgear websafe router.. anyone know how i can solve this?

Never saw a Netgear router from near, but it should have an option to redirect all unassigneable incoming traffic to an IP on the private network. You should check for that. It's called Default Server, DMZ or anything like that.

You need to forward the the ports for each program.

how do i forward the ports, and which ports can i forward (all of them?) so my sis can still use the net, msn, kazaa, etc

well, this is a case where you should rad the manual. I doubt many people here have the same router, so we're gonna be of little help. However you set up your router is how you set up port forwarding...

Yeah.. Port forwarding always works, but another alternative is to buy another IP from your ISP so the computer has full functionality of the internet..
