yes, i downloaded 7.14, installed it fresh, opened and entered in a new ip never used, both into the same places and still same error, however this time, there are differences which i will paste.

Guest9811!sasdasd@66..xxx.xxx.61
Local host: . (unknown)
info: on connect get: ip, look up normal

Guest9811!sasdasd@66.xxx.xxx.61
Local host: . (unknown)
info: on connect get: ip, look up server

Guest9811!sasdasd@66.xxx.xxx.61
Local host: fdcserve-******* (66.xxx.xxx.123)
Info: on connect get: host, look up normal

neither of these match the ip inside the port dialog box, which was 66.xxx.xxx.85

it seems mirc wipes out the loca host and IP address boxes for some reason as well, except that last attempt where it filled them in with other information.
