Hi greg, I have checked by opening all the ports(6660-6669) but still no luck. Even it is not connecting from ISA itself. I will give u the details of the IRC software. Pls. let me know if ISA supports it. http://www.mirc.co.uk <http://www.mirc.co.uk> Pls. let me know as how can make it work.

However, IRC will also randomly try to connect with other ports (6660-6669) or something like that so sometimes it will not connect. There are two ways around this. 1. Create a protocol definition for each of these ports (one for 6660, one for 6661 etc. This becomes very messy. 2. In the connection window in IRC, next to the server you connect to you can choose the edit button and set the port that you connect on. Set that to 6667 and you should be OK.

I have a secure NAT client and would like to connect to IRC server. I have already opened TCP port 6667 for both inbound and outbound but still no luck. Please advice as what other configuration is required for IRC to work behind ISA. Regards, Vinay.
