IRC Troubles
« on: November 21, 2004, 02:02:29 PM »
Aight I tried to connect to the IRC network through mIRC just now. I get almost instantaneously disconnected. I tried going to Quakenet's forums and it's like I've been banned from the damn thing or something like that...

I get some Apache error saying I don't have access to the server or something.  <_<  I dunno what the hell is going on but I need to be able to access the IRC network because I gotta take care of some stuff on there for my gaming network...

Is anyone else having the same damn problems as me?  :angry:

Nevermind... seems as though IRC is working now although I still bet I'm probably unable to get into Q-net's forums. :huh:

firewalls can cause irc to connect slower
it takes longer 2 get the ident or hostname or somthin

Ive noticed that it is much slower with my firewall (software based), i think it is something to do with the firewall monitoring and blocking some of the ports

Enable TCP port 113 in your router / firewall. It will allow faster connections because the server can connect to your identd server (part of the IRC client).
