This deosn't happen all the time, but every once in awhile IRC freezes. Not the mIRC program itself, but conversation in channels and whatnot stops coming. It appears as if everyone has stopped talking. The messages I send still go through, even though I can't see anyone's replies.
I set up another copy of mIRC on a different computer on my network and waited for the freeze to happen. The nick on the frozen computer would either not reply to a ping response, or have a ping response of several minutes.
Any help out there?
