1. Check drivers are up to date
2. Check for viruses, trojans and other malware that may affect connections
3. Check TCP/IP settings esp. Gateway, Netmask, DNS
Try resetting TCPIP using Netsh Interface reset.
4. Check proxy settings in IE

"Try resetting TCPIP using Netsh Interface reset."

If it isn't a virus infection, is there a firewall in the organization?

A firewall rule could be denying the traffic from the ports that telnet and MIRC require from that system's MAC address or IP address.
