mIRC

Note: This configuration is designed to work with version 3.01 of ComSocks using NAT. If you are using an earlier version, please download and install version 3.01.

There are two ways to configure mIRC to work with the ComSocks proxy server, and you must first decide which way best suits your needs. Using the first way, you will need to download Identd from the Fuzzy Logic download site here. However, this will allow you to connect any of your client computers to your IRC server. The second way requires a port be mapped, and because of this will only allow one client computer to connect to IRC. However, if you don't wish to have additional software running on your gateway computer, or you only have one additional computer in your network, you may want to consider this option. If you chose to use Identd, please begin at Part 1 and skip Part 2. If you instead want to use port mapping, please begin at Part 2. Regardless, though, please continue to Part 3.

Part 1

Download Identd from here
Install and run this software on your gateway computer
No additional configuration is necessary for this software - it will answer identd requests for your client computer

Part 2

Open the ComSocks manager and click on the Port Mapping tab. Then, click the Add button to configure the port mapping
Enter a name for this port mapping, such as Identd TCP
From the Proxy IP Address selection menu, please select 0.0.0.0(Any IP)
Enter the Proxy Port 113, and click Add
Enter the IP of the client computer that will be cusing mIRC into the Destination Name or IP. In this example it is 192.168.0.2, though this may not be the case for your network.
Enter 113 into the Destination Port
Select TCP from the Transport selection menu
Click Ok
Click on the General tab
Remove the check from Use this proxy IP for all daemons and port mapping
Click Apply

Part 3

Open mIRC, and select Options from the File menu
Select Firewall from the left menu
Check Use SOCKS Firewall, and select the Socks5 protocol
Enter the IP of your gateway computer for your Hostname
Verify that the Port is 1080
Check Initiate DCCs through firewall

In the ComSocks manager, click the Daemons tab
