    Thnaks again, Costa.  = )  And thanks John Dalton too. You were correct,
my route all was freeing the irc traffic.
    Just one more thing: Should I not use the statement "route all accept" ?
Or just dropping the traffic I don't want to be routed some lines above
resolves everything?

    Thanks again for your attention,

Christian Prediger Appel

Cristian,

Do you run an IRC server on the Linux gateway? The "server irc " statement
is placed to an INTERFACE meaning that you run an IRC server on that
INTERFACE.

I suspect you are running an IRC client on the LAN and the IRC server is
somewhere in the internet. If this the case, you have to put a:

route irc drop

in your lan2internet ROUTER.
