Reconnecting to wrong port - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with the automatic reconnect. On my server, I connect to two different ports (1025 and 1026). Now, when I get disconnected, mIRC reconnects but it uses port 6667 instead of 1025 and 1026, even though it was connected to these ports before it got disconnected.

How can I make it automatically reconnect to the correct port?

Thanks in advance

Hi again,

what I've figured out so far is it has something to do with a server being added to the server list.
For testing purposes, I added an entry named 'local' with localhost on port 6667 as server.
When connecting to localhost using '/server localhost 1026' and then closing the connection from the server side, mIRC first tries to reconnect on port 1026, but any other attempts will be directed towards port 6667.

However, if I remove that server from the server list, it continues to reconnect on the correct port.

Using Version 7.59, btw.

I made a video on how to reproduce the problem:

Since I know what causes the error, this thread can be seen as 'fixed'. However, it might be a bug so maybe move it to the correct section.

That looks fine. mIRC will always cycle through the list of ports you have defined for a server in the servers list.
