IRC problems with router

[yronnen]

Hello.

Whenever I connect my pc to a router, IRC starts giving me error 10053 and disconnects me. It happens sporadically and in any type of IRC client.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The router could be blocking the IRC traffic. You could try setting up port forwarding to forward inbound and outbound traffic over the port your IRC software uses between the router and your PC.
