L.S., Yes, the label assigned by the software of the router to these translations is dependent on a port, so when the 6667 port is used the software of the router says something like 'this translation is for a MIRC type session'. Confusing, at least to me, and the software of the router seems to have it wrong.
The problem of software is that it is soft. To build a hard defense in the end one needs hardware (like how Cops CopyLock II used a floppy long time ago). But that's a different story. Thanks all.
