Re: How Do I Connect??????????????????????????????????
You're most likely behind a router (either a separate box or your modem is also a router). You need to forward the port you're using for IRC to the computer the server is running on. Depending on the router, you may also have to give that computer a static internal address.
I assume that when you run the client on one of ythe computers in the network it works - otherwise you have other problerms you have to clear up first. (Like punching a hole in the firewall on the server or turning the firewall off.)
Re: How Do I Connect??????????????????????????????????
Ok ill try that. I do have a firewall and that may be the case. I also have another question. How would i use vb to get the Internet IP addresse instead of getting network IP addresse?
Re: How Do I Connect??????????????????????????????????
You could use VB (Winsock1.LocalIP, for instance), but ipconfig (run from a cmd window) will tell you what it is, and if you make it static (Control Panel/Network Connections/<your connection>/Properties/Internal Protocol (TCP/IP)/Properties/Use the following IP address - you'll have to set the DNS addresses too - you can find them in your router) it won't change. (Choose one outside the range of your router's DHCP server, and not ending in .0 or .255)

Re: How Do I Connect??????????????????????????????????
Ok i tryed turning of firewalls on pc running server but didnt work. if i plug the internet directly to pc running server it works fine. Is it because my administrator computer (computer sharing internet) is running firewall?
My network is not big its two computer connected with a crosscable no routers.All is configured correctly but im thinking maybe its administrator firewall that may be blocking is that possible?
