IRC Help Cant Connect! Started by: Vincent_Capone_II on Jun 01, '08 17:37

* Connecting to 72.20.28.104 (6667)

-

* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)

Every time this happens, I even tried dropping my firewall. But I'm starting to think its my ISP.


Are there any alternatives or things that you guys can suggest, even the HelpDesk tried to help.

Looks like its blocked from your side somewhere..


Try using www.mibbit.com (your browser, not mirc)


Select the "Other Server" in the drop down and put in irc.mafiareturns.com:6667


While this is a web interface, and its not as good as mirc, it should get past your firewall.

Is this on a home computer on your own internet connection?


Is this on a shared internet connection at an apartment complex?


Is this at your work?


Is this at your uni?


Give us some info on your setup so we can help you with this.

Report Post Tip
yeah it used to work but nowit doesn't monique, srry i see your having irc troubles as well
Report Post Tip
Ok, then unless you knowingly went into your modem/router and disabled ports, then it sounds that the problem is with your firewall/security suite.


What type of security/antivirus/firewall applications are you running, also, what operating system? (windows xp, vista, ubuntu, bla bla)
Report Post Tip
Vista, i thought i only had the standard OS Firewall but i also have a virus program McAffee which could have a firewall i don't know tho.
Report Post Tip
http://www.simplehelp.net/windows/how-to-allow-a-program-through-the-windows-vista-firewall/


Follow that for mirc and let me know if that works.
Report Post Tip
Damn vista...
Report Post Tip
We were having issues with the www.mibbit.com client for a while. It was being blocked due to being listed in a proxy list. That problem has since been resolved and the IRC network is now configured to fully work with the mibbit interface.
Report Post Tip
yeah it started working again a while ago
