FNar i didn't change anything. if i did and saw it was not working i would have changed it back again. and i thought the reply was "i don't understand what you are trying to do. tell me what you have done then we'll go from there" i told you every step i did. and i'm not saying i did them. i did them. i'm not gonna go "ok do this in MIRC? ok. did it.didn't work" 1 second after being told. FNar if you believe i'm under a NAT device,then tell me what a NAT Device is and tell me step by step how to do it,because i've done everything so far. i even went as far as network connections/double clicking the local area connection/properties/tcp/ip /properties/filling out my info it ip number gateway,etc/close everything. then go to DHCP and disabling. i executed MIRC. still get connect...connect...connect... nothing. so i don't know.
