Windows 10: IRC - I can't access one particular server (yet others are fine...)

Hi. Yesterday, I used IRC for the first time and I've hit a problem – it seems I can access any server except the one I actually want which is irchighway.net.


I've tried two IRC clients – mIRC and adiIRC – and the story is the same: trying to access irchighway.net gives me the error “unable to resolve server”. At first, I suspected interference from my firewall or antivirus but the fact that I've successfully downloaded an ebook from undernet.org suggests I don't have a connection issue. By way of further testing, I have:
disabled my firewall
disabled my AV, and

on my router, opened the specific ports that irchighway uses.

All to no avail. I'm at a loss to understand how I can't access just this one server. Can anyone tell me the cause (and cure) of this? Thank you.

:)

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?


It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server
