Hi mindbendertb, I read your problem and maybe this is helpful to you, months age I have Time Warner Cable and always I can't access to any irc server, the status gave me this '' [10054] Connection reset by peer '' Time Warner Cable is blocking access to all irc servers, I don't know why, but I change to this company's AT&T, COX, and I have no more problem to conect at any irc servers...
