you can also use a bnc, something like psybnc or winbnc would let you connect to the host running the bnc like a normal irc server, then you connect to an irc server from there

The mIRC help file should give more info regarding connecting to irc servers via socks/proxy.

This is what the mIRC help file contains regarding firewall.

QUOTE

Firewall

mIRC can connect to an IRC Server through a Socks4, Socks5, or Proxy firewall.

The purpose of this option is to allow access to IRC through a firewall at work, or more rarely through a network set up at home. The majority of home users should keep this option turned off.

Firewall support
You can choose to enable firewall support for server connections, dcc connections, or both.

Protocol
You can select either Socks4, Socks5, or Proxy.

Socks4 and Proxy are limited in functionality and only allow server connections.

Note: mIRC uses a passive protocol to establish DCC connections when a client is behind a Socks5 firewall. This will not work with older versions of mIRC or other IRC clients because no standard exists. You can find out more about the protocol here.

Hostname
The address of your firewall server, can be either a named address or an IP address.

User ID
Can be the account or user name on your system. For most people this will be the User ID portion of their email address (the text before the @ sign).

Password
The password required to access the firewall.

Note: If you are connecting via a proxy, and you enter a password, mIRC only supports http proxy basic authorization.

Port
This is usually 1080 for Socks firewalls.

Exception masks
If you have the firewall enabled but would like to connect to some servers directly, you can enter their addresses here. Wildcards may be used. Any server addresses which match the exception masks will not use the firewall.

The /firewall command
This command allows you to change the above firewall settings.

/firewall [-cmN[+|-]d] [on|off] <server> <port> <userid> <password>

The -c switch clears the userid and password values.
The -mN switch set the connection type, where N is 4 or 5 for Socks4 or Socks5, or p for proxy.
The +|-d switch turns dccs through a firewall on or off.

For GUI interface instead, press Alt-O which will bring you to the Options Dialog.
Expand the Connect treenode by clicking on the + symbol. Look for firewall. Click on it. You should be able to see a dialog which ask for the hostname, port, userid, pass, exception masks, firewall support and protocol. Just play around with it. For proxies/socks, check the Proxy Listings section. Just a note though, not all proxies/socks are IRC compatible. You might want to use an IRC proxy checker. I use the one i attached. It can be found at http://clan.cyaccess.com/zip/ircprx15.zip. I have attached it for the lazy users who cant google

There is a irc socks checker too. But i cant find it and i am rather bz so those who have it may post it. You can also get additional irc proxies at http://www.atomintersoft.com/products/aliv.../help/irc-proxy

Cheers, got to go bye~

You Can Use pSYBNC, u just config it and then install it on the remote pc. then you just connect to it like you would a normal irc server. from their u can connect to any server. its simple to use.
