Talk:Port triggering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To put it simply... what?? This is a really bad definition. --Joy [shallot] 00:19, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Joy: I rewrote the definition. I hope it's better than it was before.. but I guess it depends on how familiar you are with Port Forwarding.

I re-wrote this definition today, sorry if it's dense and hard to follow, but previous definition was factually incorrect. Anybody want to edit for clarity/simplicity? --Wanion 08:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

The first sentence of the definition is still very unclear... definitely grammatically incorrect. I would fix it but I don't even know what its trying to say. --Trjonescp 05:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Tastyratz 20:05, 15 April 2007 (UTC) Removed-

An IRC user is referred to in the format nickname!~username@hostname, where the presence of tilde (~) indicates that a username is unverified.

It was unneccesary bloat.

Added "via port 113" it wasnt clearly associated with ident in paragraph above reference.

Added " Laymen" Terms example

Shortened a few sentences to make them easier to swallow

added - You also gain security in a sense that that port is not specifically left open to the world at any and all times.

[edit] Possible copyright problem

Either portforward.com copied the Wiki definition here, or the edit on May 3rd (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Port_triggering&oldid=13380136) copied the definition from portforward.com (http://www.portforward.com/help/porttriggering.htm). My guess is that the text was copied from portforward.com and should be rewritten, removed, or get portforward.com to ok it's use. -- jesup

I have reverted to that revision and removed the substub template. -Splash^talk 02:26, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

It's not clear what things this does.
