I am starting a new thread for this so others with the same problem can easily find this subject. The original post by KaNgArOo is as follows:
we have the irc server set to : irc.HomelessIRC.net
we have port set to 6667
we get this message : Unable to connect (Connection timed out)
what's wrong? can someone please help?
I did some searching ... Firstly, I know that the port that Roo is using is correct, it's the same on I'm using. I think I've talked to Roo and/or Batty about this in the past. They have been trying to get on the server for some time now ...
I found the following thread on the mIRC Message Board. The thread can be found at: mIRC Common IRC Errors Thread. I have extracted the relevent information as follows:

Arutha: Any suggestions? Anyone else who is familiar with the how's & why's of mIRC have any suggestions. I should point out that even though Roo, Batty and myself have significant hours logged as mIRC users (and IRCops/admins), we may have over-looked some simple solution. Anything you can offer would be of assistance (especially if it gets them into the chatroom).
A couple of other factors:
[/li][li]Roo & Batty are in Australia
[/li][li]The Homeless.irc servers are in the USA. (*hint hint, Arutha ... where's your server?!?)
I tried to pull up the HomelessIRC webpage, but it wasn't coming up on my computer ...

Scenario: Joe dialed Mary's number, but it never rang, or, it rang but she never picked it up.
- Joe is your mIRC, an IRC client.
- Mary is the IRC server.
- In most cases in our scenario, Joe is trying to call Mary via telephone.
