Ok, here's some output from attempted connection to other servers, most of these are in the server select thing in mIRC:



Code:
* Connecting to irc.absurd-irc.net (7000)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)
-
* Connect retry #1 irc.absurd-irc.net (7000)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)
-
* Connect cancelled



Code:
* Connecting to irc.afternet.org (6667)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)
-
* Connect cancelled


Code:
* Connecting to irc.phazenet.com (7000)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)
-
* Connect cancelled



I did have luck with irc.global-irc.com(port 6666) but right after I connected I got disconnected for no reason with the same connection refused error. Also in reply to the firewall thing, I don't even have an anti-virus, I disabled windows firewall and windows defender. I also did the /firewall off command in mIRC.
