I have no anti-virus software installed at all.

I'm behind a Netgear WGR614 v5 that is connected to a SB4200 cable modem by Motorola. My internet is provided by Cox.

I've been able to reproduce this on a number of different IRC servers. EnterTheGame, Rizon, GameSurge. However this did not disconnect me on EFNet, so perhaps it is an IRCd problem or "feature."

The odd thing however is the length of the characters in quotes matters.

DCC SEND "abcdefghijkl" will not drop my connection, however add one more letter and it will. DCC SEND "abcdefghijklm"

The drop error in Status is [10053] Software caused connection abort, which if I recall is a router issue. Odd then that it doesn't happen on EFNet.... confused
