mIRC help

[alienationware]

Ok, so I am on an island somewhere in the Caribbean, and I'm trying to connect to say irc.rizon.net or any other server. I get the famous "connection timed out error". I'm connected to the internet through a wireless card. I can download max maybe around 24kbytes/sec. I tried to use a network cable instead of wireless, but I get the same "connection timed out error." Help! Is mIRC the only notable IRC client out there?

try this:
http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/

its based on the browser, rather than a program.

Thanks, but this client only works on UNIX systems. Is there another reliable IRC client for windows out there?
