Hi Romun,
That's strange - it's the firewall that interferes with the connection, so without one there should be nothing to prevent it from connecting. Can you tell me what the error messages are you're getting? Can you connect to any other irc servers apart from Othernet? Might help to figure out what the problem is.

Hi CM,
Have disabled firewall. Using mIRC can't get into ANY chat rooms. Trying direct access from t2w gets me as far as chatroom but can't enter. No problem on old setup using win me. Now have XP home on machine built to your specs - otherwise delighted with new setup.
Regards,
Bob.

Hi Sharky, Chartman,
Ended up taking machine back to suppliers. Seems that firewall was still working despite being unticked (disabled).
Set it up tonight and BINGO access to trading rooms both direct from site and using mIRC.
Problem solved can now get down to some trading.

Is that proof of the inadaquacies of XP Home? Iv'e had a lot of machines that customers got me to upgrade to XP Home, only to come back a couple of weeks later and have Win 98 put back on.
The extra £50 for XP pro has to be worth it!!
Roman, I presume you were looking at XP's built in firewall, and not some proprietry software?

Hi Chartman,
It was XP firewall and it was also able to keep me out of trading rooms using mIRC. Otherwise so far so good. Win Me which was on previous computer was freezing several times per session. Have no experience of Win 98. I will keep in mind what you say about XP Pro. if I continue to have problems.

Thanks for that Romun, I must try removing my XP firewall, as I have Nortons Personal Firewall installed, and I sure don't need both.
I would urge anyone considering an Operating System upgrade to discount XP Home in favour of XP Pro.You should be able to get it for around £150. If you can't, I know a man who can........
