Perhaps a script enabled the Firewall option? You may have enabled it accidentally I guess, or someone else with access to your computer did it. Either way, type /firewall off and your problem should be solved Regards,

now it says it is being blocked by my firewall What is the message exactly? Chances are it's your Firewall giving you the error, mIRC doesn't mention any specific firewalls, nor does it say that a firewall for sure is blocking anything. Make sure there are no options in your firewall config to allow IRC. Regards,

irc.zoite.net- [ Blocked by Zone Labs Security ]
i have it setup in my firewall to allow mIRC to connect on ports 6667 in and out. but it still is giving me this message.

Hi, I recently downloaded Mirc because my clan needs a registered channel to participate in Enemy Down Counter Strike. However, I am having problems connecting. The host I wish to use is quakenet. I have enabled irc to access the internet like all other online programs I use but still I can only connect to the server on my Dad's desktop which is ok but unconvenient. I have disabled the windows xp firewall ages ago so i dont think that will be the problem. Can anybody suggest what is?

Hi all.
Well, I am cursed with the same problem as many other people. At the beginning of my arduous technical journey I knew nothing about configuring routers, forwarding IPs, and all that jive -- and now, well, I still don't know very much, but I've done a heck of a lot to try and resolve this problem!
The specs: -D-Link 624 router -WinXP on SP2 -mIRC 6.16 -Cable internet
With the help of a trusted technical advisor (a.k.a my best friend), I tried to address the DCC send/chat issue through the following methods.
-We cleared the locahost info as specified at the beginning of this thread in mIRC -We set the ports to 5001-5005 in the connect advanced options -These ports as well as 1024-1025 and 6060 were forwarded and allowed in the router's configuration -Ident port 133 was also forwarded/allowed
None of the above worked, so we set a DMZ for my machine, essentially bypassing the router's firewall. That failed. We then disabled the windows firewall and my virus scanner, that failed to produce any positive results as well. I'm not behind any additional firewalls or proxy servers. I am able to receive files over IRC and receive a DCC chat, but not send files or send a DCC chat. My DCC works fine on my PC, the one that is directly connected to the internet, but my laptop that receives its connection from the wireless router is suffering DCC problems.
I have only one question left: what the frilly heck is going on? Is it SP2, the router (which I heard is flawed in some way), or mIRC itself? All of the above? I'm really lost at this point.

onias, I'd check to make sure your wireless router doesn't have a built-in firewall. I had that same problem- I was opening the ports on the DSL router, but didn't realize that there was another one on my wireless network router that had to be dealt with as well.
Anyway, now I have a little problem of my own. Last night mIRC just stopped being able to connect to any server. I just keep getting the "Unable to connect to server" error over and over. I can connect just fine with x-chat and a java client, but not mIRC. I've tried getting the latest version of mIRC, but no dice. I've tried connecting to a server with the IP rather than hostname, but still no luck. The only difference that I can discern between now and yesterday, when it worked, is that my IP seems to have changed. Any ideas what could have caused this?

* Connect retry #13 online.be.galaxynet.org (6666) - -online.be.galaxynet.org- *** Looking up your hostname - -online.be.galaxynet.org- *** Checking for ident server - -online.be.galaxynet.org- *** Found your hostname - -online.be.galaxynet.org- *** No identification response - Ping? Pong! - poison drone. - Closing Link: _Sweet_[62.116.121.242] by ionip.nl.galaxynet.org (K-lined) - * Disconnected So what am I doing wrong? I'm behind a firewal from school, but use hopster to get around that. I've been using this for almost 3 months and all of a sudden I get k-lined on the main galaxynetservers. I've send them an email asking why they have k-lined me now. But I was still wondering what the Poison drone message meant, and of course if that means I need to do something against it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A "drone" is generally a reference to an infection whereby your computer connects a "drone" (bot) to an IRC network which then automatically joins a specified channel, and it's controlled by the "botmaster". Once numerous people are infected there will be more drones, and they can be used to flood channels or DDoS websites/users. If nobody were infected with trojans then the ability to DDoS would be crippled. So please not just now, but regularly in the future, check your system for viruses/trojans if you don't already and help the Internet in its struggle A number of antivirus/firewall resources can be found in this thread.

I have my WinXP firewall ON and I can now connect.
I used to get the "unable to resolve server" error message so i went to the mIRC website and downloaded the server.ini file from the main page..
immediately after I recieved the "unable to resolve firewall address"
To fix, under Tools->Options->Connect->Firewall Even if you have NONE selected, change around the "Socks4" "Socks5" "Proxy" settings...I had Socks4 originally and changed to Proxy and this fixed everything. This works with the firewall on.
So in summary, select NONE and Proxy I think the default is NONE and Socks4
Hope this helps someone

Firstly, please drop the caps, it's considered shouting and therefore rude. Try your best to observe the rules of English spelling/grammar to make it easy for everyone to understand you.
You must elaborate on your problem to get help. What has mIRC bot to do with selling CDs? What error message are you receiving? "This" website isn't working for you? What website? What has a website got to do with mIRC or selling CDs? Have you searched for "other" websites with Google? What other websites do you mean? What version of mIRC do you use? What exactly is your problem?!
Regards,
Mentality/Chris

That means that the server is banning you. Read what the reason is and what it tells you to do about it. Usually, you should contact the e-mail they provide or if there isn't an e-mail provided, go to their website and check there for the contact information.
