This sticky post and
this thread may help you.
It's a good idea to use the Forum's
Search feature before posting as many issues (including this one) have been covered extensively in the past. The Forum is like a library of mIRC information
When using the search feature, use concise search terms (such as "connection refused") and expand to 'All Forums' and 'All Posts' for best results.
Best of luck
Regards,
