I am unable to connect to servers via SSL despite having installed the OpenSSL libraries from Win32 OpenSSL at http://www.shininglightpro.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. I am Running Windows XP Pro SP2 with all the service packs. I have disable Windows Firewall. I am using a Macbook Pro running bootcamp and am connecting to the net via a wireless connection to a D-link DI-614+ router. I had no issues using mirc and ssl on my main PC (connecting to the router via a wired connection), but the motherboard failed and I now have to use the notebook until I can get a replacement PC.

When I try to connect to an SSL server, I get the following message:

/server: ssl not available

It's very important to me that I be able to get re-connected to the irc server, and I cannot do so unless I can enable SSL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,
