hmm. hasn't connected for me. I've got a hardware firewall, I wonder if that's the problem? I haven't had problems with anything else.

Thanks Y'all for input. WOM nice to hear from you.

SD Central won't connect to irc.stardock.com. I'm using port 6667 but all I get is "unable to resolve server". I haven't used the WC browser for quite a while now (the website gives more more screen space. Is there any reason to expect it would work differently? I did try mIRC with the same results.

Ain't nuthin' easy!

Hum, sounds like a firewall problem. Hi Garry.

Might need to forward port 6667 to your system's LAN adress.

Thx Hippy - can you suggest how? I'm really thick when it comes to settings for the router (the only firewal I use). FWIW, I'm currently trying on my old dinosaur machine with the same results. I think WOM is right about the firewall.

And there it was. McAfee blocks irc by default. Once I changed the settings, all is well.
