Usage: SET DCCPORT [value]
If set to zero (default):
DCC requests are sent with the first available
TCP port, as judged by your operating syste.
If set to nonzero:
All dcc requests you send will be sent with
the TCP port you specified.
In this case, note these:
- You can only have one listening
connection open for the same port at time.
After the connection has been established,
you can reuse the port again for new connections.
- Allowed port range is 1..65535.
- Ports 1..1023 are reserved for system services (root-only).
This setting might be handy to circumvent a strict firewall.
Together with /set dcchost, most firewall-related problems
are history. ;)
