Forums Connection Issues Cannot connect to MIRC

When I first got MIRC i was using Windows 98 and it worked fine. Well then I updated my operating system to windows XP. Now I can't connect to MIRC on any server. i downloaded the XP version of it. Everytime I try to connect to MIRC it says " Connecting to 4-irc.com (6667)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Invalid argument)"
What's Wrong?

Have a look and see if the inbuilt XP firewall is restricting you from accessing mIRC
START > Control Panel > go to Network connections window, right click on the one you use > Properties > Advanced, uncheck the box that says Protect should switch it off to test
or Alternatively
web page
tells you how to Configure it for use with mIRC
