Well, since my prior complications, I have run mIRC a small handful of times, and I now seem to be having issues that I was not experiencing before I re-installed the program. For the most part, I have been able to set up the mIRC client to its previous state, but I have been having problems remaining connected.

I am posting my current troubles in this topic because there is a chance that this is being caused by my anti-virus protection, just as before; though I am hoping to find a resolution not related to my anti-virus protection, such as a setting within mIRC. After connecting, and successfully chatting, I find that I am being disconnected for no apparent reason.

It does seem to occur after a slightly pro-longed period of inactivity, but I don't imagine that mIRC would have any sort of "automatic time-out" feature. The only thing indicated by my status window is the message "Disconnected by Host". I assume this implies that the disconnection is due to my internet connection, and not the fault of the server, correct? Other than that, I don't believe I have any more pertinent information to supply, though if you would like any other details, I will try my best to provide them.

Thanks again.
