ARGH ! I've searched the forums here as best I could, but am unable to find solutions to fix "unable to resolve server" connection error. I'd encountered this problem before nearly 4 years ago (and prior) when I had to configure a Win7 laptop with its firewall and MacAfee AV. The solution was to change some settings in the MacAfee AV.
But now, I have a 'new' laptop (Win8 v.6.2.9200) with Norton's AV (v.21.2.0.38) and cannot figure out how to resolve my connection problem. I know I have the correct server address (irc.networkjunkies.com:6667), etc. But, I cannot find in Norton's where to 'allow' mIRC to work. I'm fairly sure I have the firewall settings correct to allow mIRC to work.
Any help is greatly appreciated
OH, if it makes any difference - I can get IRC on my android tablet, but that's barely 2nd best to mIRC
