hello guys im new here and i need help.

i was a frequent user of mIRC before, until some day i had a problem with my pc. i don't know much of what went wrong, but a friend of mine who understands this kind of stuff helped me. he formated (dunno if that's what you call it there; english is not my first language) the hard drive erasing everything. now i have a new firewall and a router.

but now i cant use mIRC! this is the message i get when i try to connect

* Unable to connect to server (Software caused connection abort)


the usual pop window of the firewall asking whether the connection should be allowed doesn't even appear, i doubt its a firewall problem. so, what could it be? i know its kinda vague but i really have no idea why this is happening and help would really be appreciated. thanks.

Try other networks. In any case, the stickies with all of those pages about being unable to connect or software caused connection abort contain just about every possible fix you can think of to try. You'll be better off going through and trying everything listed than to wait for someone to offer the same suggestions here.
