What does these IP "66.132.146.52" to do with IRC. Every time i open IRC i get port scans and crap from this IP.

hmm...for starters, which network does ur MIRC currently connect to during startup? i'm gonna speculate that the ip belongs to that network.
to find out the ip of the network u connect to, type in the command in the status window
/dns the name of the network
for example, if i wanna know the ip of this network, i'll type...
/dns irc.addictz.net
u dun really have to worry much bout it, it's just some security measures employed by the admin to protect their network, a lot of networks do that. when u are connecting to this specific network, the last few lines of the window status will usually warn u that the network will scan ur ports for vulnerabilities.
i assume u knew u got port scans because u've got a firewall installed, right? at least u can relax, the network knows ur comp can defend itself against its port scan test.

ps:but if what i'm speculating is wrong (the ip u found using the command above doesn't match with the ip that's scanning ur port)....plz tell us more :smilie4:, it might be something else....
