Which network/server are you trying to connect to, and what's the exact error message?

Just so we can be 100% sure type /server kernel.ga.us.dal.net and see if it lets you on.

try /server 209.82.160.49

if that doesnt work, check to be sure you arent blocking mIRC or the server ports (6660-6669,7000-7002 and 113 for identd) in any firewall/router.

parabrat is he trying to connect to something thats down?

|D3m0nicChaosDNS| IP: 209.82.160.49
|D3m0nicChaosDNS| Host: --None!--

i tried to run a dns on what u told him to try ... and it returned as nothing

also are u in a school or university?

edit:

odd occurance tho it does work the other way around

|D3m0nicChaosDNS| IP: 209.82.160.49
|D3m0nicChaosDNS| Host: kernel.ga.us.dal.net

so thats kinda odd of it lol nm parabrat maybe im just losing my mind

lol, not to worry, if you've lost your mind we'll keep an eye out for it...mine wanders off and gets lost a lot too.

i tested it when i posted it and just did again, it connects fine.

There is no bug, it's just that the IP 209.82.160.49 hasn't got a reverse DNS entry.

Try using kernel.ga.us.dal.net, but, use port 7002

Most firewalls only filter 6660-6669,7000 and forget to do 7001 and 7002

have you checked with comcast to see if there is anything you have to tweak?
