Check your firewall(s) / virus checkers (McAffee in particular has a setting which stops all IRC connections)
Whoever you vote for.

It's only applicable if you have a McAffee Firewall installed on your computer. If there's a red and white M in your system tray then you do.

Some ISPs, for some unknown reason block the ports for you, The only way I can access IRC, should I wish to be sworn at or ignored is here

My trusty brother has beaten the hackers of my computer. They deleted Java and put a virus on it. I am back a running on IRC again. Thanks for trying to help everyone. :D
