Setting Up ZoneAlarm for IRC

Sponsored Links

After installing the new ZoneAlarm 6 Final Released, I got problem entering the IRC. Eventhough I already give access to mirc.exe file, I’m still unable to connect to IRC. Note that I get the Security Suite edition instead of ZoneAlarm Pro that I usually used before.

The error message that occured is: [ Blocked By ZoneAlarm ]

After googling for a while, I finally found the answer from here. Simply go to:
IM Security – Settings – Advanced – Uncheck Block IRC.
Dang, how can I didn’t think of that :p

    I just reinstalled my Zone Alarm Security Suite to the newest version 7.0.483.000 . I have gone to the IM settings>Advanced>unchecked Block irc. Then opened mIRC and I am still getting the unable to resolve server error? Any clue as to why? Is it still Zone Alarm or maybe it is cause I have to configure mIRC in a certain manner before use? Any help would be greatly appreciated, TY :)
