when people use chat rooms and you enter one and pm 's start popping up and then someone pms you and starts scrolling on you and blah blah and they boot you from the room?? How does this work/
This has never happened to me. I am running Norton AV 2002 have a 1.5ghz comp with 512 shared ram 32 mb video card. Is it because my system is too fast to lock up. I am asking because i constantly hear people talking about being booted and etc. thanks guys

Sounds like an ICMP flood attack. I've used IRC for 3 years and I have never been disconnected by someone using a flood attack. An ICMP flood is usually accomplished by broadcasting either a bunch of pings (Not IRC pings, ICMP pings. Similar purpose, but handled differently) or UDP packets. The idea is, to send so much data to your system, that it slows you down so much that you're disconnected from IRC due to a ping timeout.
