Sharky,

I don't know if you can help but I downloaded the mIRC client this evening and had a problem gettiing it to work.

The obvious potential issue was that I'm running ZONEALARM as a firewall on my PC (whcih is connected via a cable modem). When I shut the firewall down the problem disappeared - confirming my suspicions about the cause.

Is there anything I can do to run mIRC behind ZONEALARM?

TIA,

Darth.
 
Hi Darth,

I've never used ZoneAlarm before, but i've had a look on the net and there's some technical support help at http://www.zonealarm.com/services/support_za_all_faq.htm I think you may need to make the program a trusted program in the advanced options for ZoneAlarm. Also in mirc you may need to configure the firewall options -> File - Options - Connect - Firewall - Use Firewall (Im not too sure how to configure this, but i got it running at work behind a firewall so I'll check my settings tomorrow).

Hope this can help!

Cheers,
Sharky.
 
thanks for helping Sharky. You are right. I've set the internet security level from high to medium and it works now...
