OP MarcNWLondon Nutrimatic drinks dispenser M Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 6	I keep on getting the following message: "* Unable to connect to server (Connection refused) * Connect retry #44 eu.undernet.org (6667) (dns pool)" This started happening yesterday. I have tried a number of servers and different PCs. I have also installed mIRC afresh. Can somebody please help me?

And some firewall softwares (Norton, for example) don't turn off as easily as you think... just disabling it may not actually prevent it from doing things. Anyhow, it's up to you if you want to look into it further. If a reinstall doesn't fix the problem in that directory, then there is really no other reason than some Antivirus, Firewall, or Router problem since you can run a different mIRC on the same computer without a problem.

Thank you. I do not use a software firewall. I cannot run a different mIRC on the same computer. If I could, it would not be a problem. I installed mIRC on 2 PCs and it is not working on either.

It's possible, though perhaps not likely, that your IP has been blocked from the entire network. Given that both computers exhibit the same symptoms it is likely to be a router/ADSL modem issue. In that case resetting those devices to their factory settings would probably resolve the issue. If you haven't yet tried simply turning the device(s) off and on again then try that first. Finally, some ISPs have been known to block IRC/IRC-related ports, so failing any other ideas you may wish to contact your provider.

Will do, later on today. Will do, after turining off the router.
