I'm behind a router. It has all the lastest updates.
tried Mirc but when I try to connect to a irc server
I get refused.

I have also tried putting myself in the dmz. The port is forwarded to this machine (ident port).

The above 255.255.255.255 I dunno where Mirc gets that but thats not the number in the machine networking setup.

I am also using ZoneAlarm Pro.the current relesease. Mirc is in the program as having access to the internet for the protocols it needs.

In Mirc. I have tried changing the IP etc but...

Thoughts ?
