hi,
i am not able to connect to any IRC servers to expand IRC network.Even after disableing windows firewall and windows defender it not get connected.it shows the message "unable to connect server" could it be a problem with my LINKSYS - WTR54GS Wireless-G Travel Router?.Does anyone know what causes this issue and how to fix it?Any help will be extremely appreciated.
Don't use port 6667 to connect to a network. Most networks have a range of ports, usually within 6660-6669,7000-7001 and you can specify a port with /server some.server.here:7000.
Don't use "speed patches" that supposedly increase your download speed. (note some of them effect your registry, use speed patch as your search term).
The message 'Unable to connect to server (Software caused connection abort)' comes up when the connection closes unexpectedly. This is due to your Windows settings that may be preventing you to access IRC servers. you could try connecting to some other ports other than 6667 (if the server has 'em open) or maybe its your ISP that's blocking IRC access. So ask your ISP.
You can also try disabling your firewall for some time and then try connecting to the server.
This problem may be caused by one of the following: The connection to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) was lost before you tried to open or save the page. The FrontPage client application cannot reach the Web server.
If you are creating and opening webs on a Web server on the local computer, the same error message appears if the computer NetBIOS name begins with a number.
