Added those rules, enabled the new configuration, restarted the firewall service, disabled the service, enabled the service, restarted the SA:MP server, reloaded the FS, still no connection. It seems to only get through when I COMPLETELY disable the firewall on the dedicated box.

I thought of that too, but people can still connect to the IRC through regular IRC clients, so that can't be the problem. The SA:MP server's IRC bots only connect when the firewall on the dedicated box is completely turned off...


EDIT: Seems like it only works when either the firewall is disabled completely, or after trying to connect, I restart the firewall- it will connect.
