Yes, but I strongly discourage the use of mirc.  This application is a hackers playground.

If that is the only TCP port, which I believe it is not, then you must create a plug gateway on TIS Gauntlet or generic 
passer on a Raptor Eagle.

You did not identify the type of firewall, and or the version of software.  Is it FWTK, TIS Gauntlet 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.2, 
4.0, 4.1 etc... or is it some other brand of firewall.

The plug gateway should be created to listen on the appropriate port number and permit source to destination, if it is 
not a generic TCP plug gateway that allows any internal to any external.

If I were the firewall sys-admin, I would rrecommend against any IRC application.  Refer to http://www.tis.com/support

    I'm at uni and there is a firewall which stops most ports.

    Anyone know of a way to get progs like mirc working which goes through port 6667 which is stopped.

    I get lonely.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Many thanks.

    Allan.
