This is not talking about tip.it server i am talking about swift and other servers. So recently my memory chip died and corrupted my hard drive so i had to wipe entire computer and get a new memory chip. After i reinstalled most things i tried to connect to mirc and i got this message * Connecting to irc.swiftirc.net (6667) - * Unable to connect to server (Connection refused). So at first im thinking maybe its firewall and i turned it on allowed programs and no change. Next i try just turning off firewall and again no change same message so now im thinking maybe its the program the mirc i have is the latest version 6.33. So i download chatzilla, swiftkit, and xchat and all of them experienced the same problem as mirc. Someone please come up with a solution for my connection problem i am thinking its possibly a router problem i use linksys wireless.
