In mIRC - go to File/Options, then to Connect, then to Local Info
Copy everything there to here - which boxes are checked and which button is clicked - DON'T paste yuour IP address or local host here if you value your privacy, but make sure they look like real ones.
BTW, the end of local host - the <whatever>.net or .org or .com should be your provider - that you can post here.

There's always a solution. Sometimes the solution is worse than the problem, but there's always a solution. I can spend about another hour and a half tonight working on this with you, so we should be able to fix it. If not, there's always dynamite.

okk.. here is nothing written on the local host and ip address.
on connect, always get - the local host is checked.
lookup method - the server is checked.

Uncheck Local Host
Check IP Address
Recheck Local Host
Then click OK, close mIRC, run it again and see if you can connect to something

okay, that's what's wrong - the ip address has to get filled in ... try changing the Server method to Normal, click ok, close mIRC and rerun it. (You have to close it because it only gets the local stuff when it first starts up.)

Did you try to connect to a server since you changed the IP check?
