Hi,

IRC uses TCP ports 6660-6669 and then 7000, usually, the MOST used port
(default) is 6667
At my IRC network we have clients use 6660-6669 and the servers to connect
using 7000, all tcp
.

-Andrew

Subject: What ports do IRC use?


Hi folks...

I have never deal with IRC before. Now, I need to get a working machine for
IRC client only.

I am running tight ipfw rule (deny all), so, what port to open to allow IRC
connection. Is IRC connection like FTP, HTTP, or neither?

I setup my machine to allow all "out" connection, so connecting to port 6667
of the server seems to be not a problem, but when the server need to contact
the client, it can't (of course). Now, what port do I need to open so the
server can "chat" to the client easily?

Thanks...

/john
