" Under Options/Connect/Firewall, have you set 'Firewall Support' to "both" (i.e. server & DCC)? "

Yes this has been done.. DCC chats work but mIRC fails ( times out ) during a get .. Thats the whole reason this is a really serious bug.. People behind http proxies just cannot get files... I Wonder how this has'nt been fixed in the 9 years since mIRC was born..
