lol. This may be a silly question, but are you sure you had an internet connection while trying to connect to the irc server? I'm not saying your stupid, infact, im on dialup and I have been guilty of that many times. :tongue: Try connecting to another server. Or, try connecting to that server using a different irc chat client, just to test. Obiously, when you fix it, go back to mIRC (cause it's the best
) However, it may be your firewall. Most will alert you asking premision to allow mIRC to connect. Obiously, if you saw that yould would have clicked allow, but check in your firewall's program list to see what it has there. I use ZoneAlarm, and to check, go into the programs list, find mIRC, and make sure there is a ? mark or a green check by it. If there is a red "not" sign (lol, i dunno whats that thing is called) then that's your problem. Many firewalls are the same. Good luck!
