Hey ive been using mirc for a while now and i very rarely got this problem but recently its been happening more frequently , i keep getting this error message on some servers :

Server Notice: This server is using an alternate server method, please make sure your DCC Server is active and set to port 59. /dccserver +sc on 59. This is a mIRC command.

now i typed in /dccserver+sc 59 but it still wont let me connect to the server, it may be a router problme but i dont know so if anyone can help me out id appreciate it

you would have to forward/open port 59
to your machine's LAN IP address.

He's referring to a file serving bot, not an IRC server.
