ZoneAlarm is nasty. Try this: http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=Comcast_net_Site117745#za
I know the reason for doing it listed on the site is totally un-related to your problem, but you might be surprised how many issues it's corrected for my customers. Give it a shot. Ad-Blocking on ZA is a royal pain. |

set it to attempt other ports (the 6667 part) it might help. If it helps your problem was that a firewall was blocking port 6667 (either at ur place or at ur inet provider)
IF u are using a firewall - then try to stop ALL programs on your computer - including zonealarm - and then try to join (just to see if it is works with out the firewalls) |

Ad-blocking shut down didn't help? |

The most popular advice for this problem I googled out is:
Go to: IM Security - Settings - Advanced - Uncheck Block IRC.
Does it make any sense for you? |

macike, i cannot thank you enough, that worked like a charm, you are a godsend, at last i can finally start playing serious, i really have to thank you somehow
its good to know that there is a community out there that is willing to help a player in need, all of you give yourself a pat on the back, and have a drink on me! |

Fine, we'll go back to being bored......
Actually, no one had a clue, so I was about to google myself, when I checked the thread again! Good job, Macike! |

You're WELCome.
I've read your coach page. It shoud be quite simple for you to thank me. Just stop fouling and start thinking.
This way instead of your players earning the DP skill you will earn the Tactics skill. It will help you win more games. |
