I've recently reloaded my Windows XP HomeEdition (because my computer crashed) and ever since I redownloaded mIRC, I have been unable to DCC connect.

The DCC screens always pop up, and then after a long wait the error message "unable to connect" comes up.

I went through the help pages I could find, but nothing had an effect. I even erased my mIRC program files and re-downloaded, but it still doesn't work.

I think it might be a problem with my IP, but no options I've messed with so far have worked.

Any help would be great.
