I've got the cheapest kimsufi box from ovh and have installed mIRC but when I try to connect to an irc server it cannot connect. Is this a common problem on this box and is there a way around it? Or have I messed up a setting somewhere (and no, it's not a firewall problem)?

You haveto go into the manager and allow the port to be opened for irc.Quote:

I am having the same trouble and can't find a solution.
Could you be a little more detailed in your instructions for Windows server 2003?
I'm having trouble finding irc filter under services,obviously I'm looking in the wrong place.Not under administrative tools I take it.
Thanks.
Try getting the correct DLLs for SSL; that's what I did.
Thanks integral I tried it(to the best of my limited ability) and I couldn't still couldn't get it to work.
I know that I'm just not doing something very fundamental but bugger if I know what it is.
Appreciate that you at least tried to help though.The check's in the mail.:P
OVH hate port 6667 (don't ask me why) try the SSL port or either side of 6667
They probably don't want people running botnet servers.Quote:
