I also visit many other server that use other ports. None of the servers are in the default servers.ini file. as of late it is wanting to connect to port +6697 on ALL the IRC servers I have added despite what the port box has in it. Any ideas?

If you remember to put in a Group Name (near the bottom of the Add Server dialog) then it'll show up via the Server listing (which comes from the servers.ini file) If you only want those specific servers, you can delete any that are already in the file using mIRC Options - Connect - Servers -Delete

If I DELETE the servers.ini file. thus removing it from the picture all together and recreate a server to connect to port 6667 it STILL wants to connect to +6697. The only way around it is to use the /server command, specifying the server and port

Let me know what results you get so that I can investigate corrective action properly.

I've also noted that once I user /server to connect to a server I can once again connect via the "normal" way on the right port.
