Forums Connection Issues Unable to Connect

I haven't done anything different in the last week but for three days now I cannot connect. Says Network unreachable or connection timed out. Any help would be appreciated.

It would help the possible "helpers" if you told what network you're trying to connect, and if you've tried connecting to other networks as well.

HI I used to use mIRC and was able to connect with no problem at all. I recently purchased a new pc and now like so many others on this thread i cannot connect. My msg is connection refused. I dont remember what i need to do to get on, i do remember that i used to connect to EFNET to go into xbins chat. thats what im trying to do but i cant connect

can anyone help me?? it would be MUCH appreciated

thanks

when i try to connect i get the message
* Connecting to irc.criten.net (6668)
-
-irc.criten.net- [ Blocked by Zone Labs Security ]

-irc.criten.net- [ Blocked by Zone Labs Security ]

does anyone no how to stop this it only started happenins since i update my firewall
cheers

Sounds like your update also reset some items so that mIRC isn't cleared through the firewall any longer. I don't have Zone Labs Security, but I do seem to recall seeing that name with other similar problems. Try searching this forum for "Zone Labs Security" and extend the time period to 1 month (or longer). The default is 1 week.

open zonealarm and click IM security select settings from the top and click advanced. If the block irc is checked then uncheck it
good luck

thanks Firestarter that worked a charm
cheers

I can't connect to irc.othernet.org (6667). It was working fine until 1 week ago. Thanks

What is the error or message you are getting? I just tried it and connected with no problems

Hi,
I have a problem, I can't connect to any servers.
I've tried all the ones in my recent list and none of them work and it was working yesterday.
I've been experiencing a few disconnections problems for a little while but nothing like that.

I'm just getting frustrated because I can't figure out what's wrong. I haven't changed any settings.
Sorry , I managed to connect to one server but it was weird, it was almost empty and the command !newmovies didn't work as well as @find, so I tried to connect somewhere else and didn't work. Please help me!!!

Star Fleet was experencing difficulties at the time (maybe the romulans were up to there old tricks) but there sorting them out now, service should stablize sooner or later.

Unable to connect in tmd need help

Hello,

I'm new to Sysreset and tried to set up a file server. I followed the step-by-step instructions from the help file for quick/basic file server setup.

The problem: People who try to connect get the error message:


I have set my router to forward the following ports:
59, 113, 6060, 6660-7000

The file server responds to the !list command and advertises correctly.

I myself have no trouble connecting to other people's file servers, resp. downloading from them.

I'm using no proxy, windows firewall and software firewall are deactivated. Antivirus is running, though. [If that should be the problem the file server is not worth the security risk.]

I'm using the Sysreset 2.53 with mIRC v6.14 package on a Windows XP SP2 machine.

Any help or hints how/where to find help are much appreciated.
[On this note, is it possible to do a phrase search here?]

Ok, I solved the problem.

In the Options/Connect/Options/Advanced is a range of ports to be used with DCC that needs to be forwarded in the router.

Sorry for the bother.

What does it mean if my mIRC's reason for not connecting to the server is "connection refused"?

See here Scroll down to Error 10061 - Connection Refused

it will not let me connect only to the quakenet server. no idea why. here is the error message:

I tried changing the username and all that stuff, but it did not work. what to do?

Hi, I am new here. I have a problem. I tried to connect to the mirc and I got an 'unable to connect to server (Socket is not connected)' massage. Anyone can help me solve this probelm?

In your case, it looks like the problem is with the G at the beginning of Gregair13. Try using gregair13

This sounds like a script is trying to connect to the internet, and it's not able. Try removing all scripts that you have, or if you're not sure how to do that, start mIRC, then type /!remote off

That will disable any and all scripts. Then try to connect using your normal method.
