I have a source in Australia and he suggested we chat using the IRC tool. I did some research, downloaded a client, and figured out how to configure it, but then when I tried to connect to a server, I kept getting a message that Zone Alarm was blocking it. I did a quick search on the Zone Labs Web site and I found this fix.
- Open Zone Alarm.
- Click IM Security.
- Click the Advanced button.
- Unclick the Block IRC check box.
That's it. Worked like a charm.
Cheers mate, I was turning ZA off to use irc as well. You're a champ....

Hi, it doesn't work for me. I use MIRC 6.34 and zone alarm 7.0.483. What happens is that I open MIRC and then it closes immediately after me opening it.
Any other suggestions?
