Non-authoritative answer: Name: irc.dal.net Addresses: 194.68.45.50, 208.99.193.130 (I masked my own DNS server data) that's the answer I get. seems like you can't reach your DNS server... maybe it's a firewall problem or a faulty DNS server? If it ain't broken, don't fix it!

With the settings on DHCP, you should be able to connect to IRC. If you want to be back on static IPs, just enter the same information as the DHCP gave you. -genius_at_work

I have tried the ip also but no progressive result. My server is using squid proxy server. I dont know why this happening. is there any other way to use mirc ???
