well it's always the same IP address. and i can get on MSN Messenger,Paltalk,everything perfectly. so if MIRC doesn't work,saying "i'll get another router won't solve the issue. because in order for the Router to be like you said,MSN would have to not work,Paltalk would have to not work,even my anti-virus updater from the net would have to malfunction. they don't. so if only one program i have,MIRC,causes this issue,why does it have to be a faulty router? i'm sorry i'm just confused on all of this. but anyway as i stated i can get in MIRC at times,but occasionally i get disconnected,or i have to leave,or whatever and if i get disconnected just once,it takes me 20 minutes an hour even all day to get on. this time around it's taken me 2-3 days to get on. I'm out of options and i don't think i'm ever going to get it resolved frown
