xp internet connection firewall ports/services?

[flammie]

So I got a new computer with windows xp, and I didn't bother enabling internet connection firewall. Of course, the next day my machine rooted and gets iroffer installed on it by someone called "User_Invalid" from #amd on irc.aniverse.com (animecha)

So was just wondering what ports and stuff I need to open on xp's internet connection firewall to be able to accept/send dcc transfers over irc, run bittorrent, and all that fun stuff.

let's see, at least for IRC:

tutorial for MIRC is here
You'll probably need:

Identd= Port 113
and DCC = 4000, 4001, 59 and whatever others you need.

Not sure what you need for bittorrent though. When I started using it on XP it seemed to work alright for me.

Thanks for the info!
