Good day everyone, Can anyone help me on how can i connect my MIRC6.x to a cproxy server 4.0. Before we are using dial-up connection and has no problem but when we shifted to a DSL256 connection i was unable to connect it to the cproxyserver. The DSL line has a OS of win98 were the cproxyserver is installed and the mirc is also a win98 OS client, an error say "Firewall:rejected" when i try to connect. i already check the socks config. in the proxyserver and the mirc. had tried sock 4 and 5 i also tried the dns used by the ISP but still doesnt work. i also tried to connect the mirc directlty whre the DSL is connect and unistalled the proxyserver but still it doesnt work it generate an error "Unable to connect (Can't assign requested address)". thnks...

The message "Unable to connect (Can't assign requested address)" means that Mirc can not find the IRC server you are trying to connect too.

If you are trying to connect to a DALnet server (irc.dal.net) you are going to have problems like this.DALnet has been under DOS (denial of service) attacks for weeks now.

Also the "Servers" list in mirc 6 is out of date. At the www.mirc.com web site is an updated list of servers you may want to download and install.

Other then that, try connecting to Undernet or EFnet irc servers. You may have better luck connecting to them.
