Hi Everyone,
I ahve telewest broadband and up until now have not had a problem with the service, however i have found that when i try to connect to IRC servers (any) or anything through port 6667 i cannot connect.

This is nothing to do with my home machine as i am a computer technitian and have tried all the troubleshooting parts.

I am guessing that either the modem that is supplied with Telewest blocks those ports, or Telewest themselves have blocked the ports? Can anyone confirm this or give some advice?

Thanks,

Rich
