I didn't see this mentioned earlier, so I don't know if you tried it or not, but do you have the same problem with Windows firewall disabled?

I realize that you probably don't want to run your system without a firewall, but if disabling the Windows firewall resolves your current problem, there are lots of other firewalls available.


Actually, though it was not mentioned, I did try that as well. (Real head scratcher this one is huh?)

I have had a breakthrough of sorts though...

I can reproduce the same problem on the other PC in our home. It has version 6.17 on it. While I very rarely ever use that PC with mIRC, it never had any troubles when I did.

So, that means this problem has to lie somwhere either in our Wireless LAN (Where nothing has changed) Or ... where I am thinking... possibly the Cable Modem, or even when the tech came out to our house to fix slow speeds, perhaps he may have done something somehow.

If the latter be the case, (And I have installed a New Router, so I dont think it could be our LAN) then does anyone have any ideas if the modem could be the culprit, or the tech??

Thanks
