Hey guys here is a new one for me:
I recently moved from the USA to Japan. I can no longer use ANYTHING to connect. I am so frustrated. 
Anyways, if anyone has any type of info about connecting IRC to MSN overseas on a US based OS...let me know. thanks a lot ahead of time.
buy msn chat then go tghelp.net probably explains how.
lol @ SORD3N
is it just mirc on msnchat or is it msnchat/irc servers in general?

Aren't you TheProfessor who freqents in Christians Meeting Christians?!
I have no idea that this could be a problem... Maybe you could contact MSN Chat Support; I don't have a link to it though, sorry
I can look though.
Yep - the one and only. been away a few years... and im back.
is it just mirc on msnchat or is it msnchat/irc servers in general?
its everything actually.
I recently moved to japan, since then, while using my PC i have problems connecting to all types of things. mIRC and MSN being a few. I dont know what the problems is. Tried firewall, prox, everything i can think of ATM. Nothing is working.
Any thoughts will help - thanks agian
china is well known for blocking and sensoring sites , so maybe that is the reason
My code does NOT have bugs. It just develops random features.

True Ozzy,
I been looking into my internet setup here. Seems I am in a building that they use a "server" to connect everyone to the internet. Kinda like a network ... but not. idk... had so many internet problems lately its driving me to drink.
china != japan
your isp might be blocking ip addresses or certain ports

after looking more into it I think you are right. Any ways around this? 
if the isp blocked the ip addresses or sites via a router then no.

ok a lil more info:
-Sites arent "blocked" per say, I am just having a problem connecting to things like: Yahoo(staying connected), MSN(connecting at all to messenger and chat), WMV(streaming anything), and Java based chats amoung other things....
-mIRC (anything and any connection) just wont connect. I can view the MSN server list for rooms, but cant connect to lookservers.
any of this help?
sounds like they have blocked some ports

true indeed - its the only thing I can figure.
is this fixable on my end? or am i screwed with this ISP?
well you say its on like a network for the building so it could be that or the isp blocking it.
But its prob the network, isnt there someone who you can speak to about the network

lol well yeah, they do have an English Suppot Line... but its rather, weak.
ok well I guess I will try another ISP since its free for 3 months anyways. Thanks for looking out all! 
This is a bit off topic.... but uhhhh how do you live in japan? Do people speak english over there too?
how do i live here?
-I decided to pack my crap and move lol thats how.
yeah most people speak a little english. it is required in school for them. good side about it all is you never have a problem getting a job teaching english here with or without college or schooling. lol people pay mad cash for a fluent speaker from the state! 
Back on topic:
My ISP sucks crap. Will change in a month or so. hope to see you all then again.
