mIRC on DHCP Enabled LAN?!?

[GameAddict]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with running mIRC (www.mirc.com) over a DHCP Enabled Windows 2000 LAN? No settings are required for browsers (such as proxy, firewall, port etc.) to connect Internet. But for mIRC the connection times out . Any possible remedies?

Bye!

well i havent done any special setting in my mirc but you can check this option in MIRC..

tools - options - Connect > Firewall

in Firewall support Select Both and in Protocol Select Socks4

give it a try and see..
or may be you can search MIRC forums also (*trout.snt.utwente.nl/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php)

Hi all,

Was able to run mIRC with Firewall as "None" and port at 80. It works!

Bye!
