What do you guys use? I downloaded the MIRC, but I can't connect, filled in everything so it needs to be, but still can't connect. Could someone spread some light on this issue?

Couple of things you could try. That error (#10053) means that your IRC communications is being blocked from outside contact. Try changing the port to anything from 6668-7000. Port 6667 may be blocked for some reason. Also, check all of your Antivirus scanners and firewalls to make certain they are not blocking IRC comminucations. Let us know if it helps,
Are you on a shared network? If so your server may be blocking communications to IRC. If not, then it may a problem with your ISP blocking Internet access. It's not a problem with mIRC but a Windows Socket error where data packets are not allowed to pass though TCP/UDP. Are you running Vista by any chance?
