That's the problem White Rabbit, I do have it enabled.

I tried a system restore to see if that would help, but that didn't work at all so I reverted. I'm really stumped on this. Anyone know of any technical sites I can go to?

(Also I've been on Quake Net's FAQ as other countless FAQ's but none seem to make mention of this.)

EDIT: I've also tried using other IRC programs, but the same thing happens. I'm really not sure if it's the hardware firewall on the host computer or not thats causing the problems since it was fine yesterday when I connected.
