Can some onw tell me how to enaple all irc ports in firewall. or why this problem is heppining. sorry for my weak english. pls help me with this. :(
dont konw what kind of fire wall is it. But i know one thing that no one can connect to my server. Some friend told me that i have to open all irc prts from firewall. I dont konw how to open firewalls. pls help me
I'm afraid we can't help you open the ports on your firewall if you don't even know what/where your firewall is. Talk to the person who installed the firewall on your network, and have them open the ports for you, or at least find out from them where / what kind of firewall it is.
If you were the one who set it up or you think it was installed automatically / without your knowledge, then... do you have multiple computers online at your house, that share the same internet connection? Or is your fedora core box hooked directly to the internet?
I installed fedora by my self. And this computer connects direct to internet. I dont know how the fire wall was enabled. i have newer did that. I dont use any other firewall. the only firewall is that the one fedora core is having. Now some one pls help me
sorry about my poor english

You don't have some kind of modem (dsl, broadband or dialup)?
