Forums Connection Issues Need help with Gamesurge server

I'm thinking its your router. I typed /server irc.gamesurge.net:6667 and connected me to this server NetFire.TX.US.GameSurge.net. I suggest doing a search on these forums for "Linksys" searching all posts and all forums probably from now til about 2 years ago as your search range. You should see many if not tons of posts about problems with this type of router. Hope it helps
