Hello everyone. First I would like to say, I've posted to posts with similar errormessages, some here in bugs and some in connection issues.
Here is at least two of them:

This is the vital facts for me problem (this I believe turned up when I got ADSL actually!):

There are two computers sharing Internet Access trought a 3Com switch connected to a ZyXEL Prestige 650R-33, firmware: ZyNOS F/W Version: V3.40(IO.2) | 12/23/2003.
This ADSL Modem/router, is configured with a DHCP on the LAN side, giving 192.168.1.x, and gets one official IP from the ISP on the WAN side.
It also runs NAT in SUA Only mode.

The reason I tell this, was because someone had a problem but got it solved because they removed the on connect get local host/ip.. For me that's irrelevant. I cannot connect, with or without them checked.

I run Windows XP Professional Corporate Edition w/SP1, all patches from WindowsUpdate included, except MovieMaker 2, Journal Viewer and MediaPlayer 9.0.

When I /server in mIRC.. I can connect to any server I wish to, but I end up with a crash:

AppName: mirc.exe AppVer: 6.1.4.0 ModName: ws2_32.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.1240 Offset: 00003b2c

I can continue to use mIRC for as long as I wish, unless I close the error message. mIRC works just fine with it open and hidden... Until I do /server -m <second server>.. That makes it all go wacky.

My PuTTY reacted the same way before I formated (and so did mIRC 6.03, 6.12 and 6.14). On this new system, I've only tried mIRC 6.14 so far... I will go ahead and try PuTTY now...

..

PuTTY doesn't seem to crash anymore, but it did as it exchanged keys last time. But I only got to try that towards one server, that isn't online ATM.
