Ok, I'm on Mirc and this one has me stumped.

No matter what network I'm on, I cannot connect to ETG and I always get this message:

* Connecting to irc.enterthegame.com (6668)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Software caused connection abort)
-
* Connect retry #1 144.202.248.88 (6668)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Software caused connection abort)

I believe my mirc setup is identical to that of my other computer (which connects to ETG fine) and I can connect to other networks via this computer, just not ETG. Is there a known system or firewall conflict that would cause this?

Help please!

are you using a Proxy to try and connect to ETG??

this causes alot of problems

to fix this, type /firewall off then try and reconnect to ETG

If this doesnt work, try doing one of the following

ping www.enterthegame.com
tracert www.enterthegame.com

do these on both of your computers, if u see a irregular difference (e.g. first hop on tracert is >1ms) then it means your network isnt setup correctly....

if these dont work, uninstall mIRC and delete the mIRC directory (default dir = c:\Program Files\mIRC\) and re-install mIRC

tlynnec, if you post your hostmask or IP I can check to see if there's any bans on your host also.
