i never said it was an IP problem. meaning Comcast. I just said when i try to connect,the above happens. and yes i guess what you said on the list of rooms,it doesn't come up. according to the guy in #help,he said that he noticed that when my isp comes up,it'll show under dns,but the ip that shows for real on MIRC is different. so i had to put /localinfo -u under perform so that everytime if it says my IP address and if it matches the real one,then people can access my server. otherwise i'll just enter the room and that's it. more then likely though i can't even get on because if it makes a noise upon connect,it'll say something like 172.25.10.27 for instance (the channel ip) well that's all it does. the room popup list won't come up or anything. Again as i stated once before,when i had just a plain ol cable modem,i never had this issue. now that i have wireless,i get this problem constantly. But i doubt this problem is ever going to go away. If you want to come on MIRC so we can fix this one on one fine,but we need to do it in #help or another room in dalnet that is private,and not the room i attend. I just need to get to the bottom of the solution once and for all.
