Every time I restart my Windows 7 computer mIRC boots up and connects fine. However if for some reason I lose my internet connection and it has to connect again to an irc server it gives me a time out error and will not reconnect through 299 tries even though I've extended my time out period to 2.5 minutes of retry. If I restart my computer it connects just fine. Any idea what I need to tweak to get it to be able to connect after a disconnect?

The most common reason for this type of issue is anti-virus/security software incorrectly blocking mIRC and preventing it from connecting to the internet. If you are using anti-virus/security software, you would need to check that it is configured to allow mIRC to connect to the internet.
