IRC connection refusal

[Cloud Trifle]

Yet more computer porblems from the trifle.

If you're wondering why I havent been on IRC its because for some reason I cant log onto any servers.

I cant use IRC in anyway.

I have been speaking to Timmeh and he thinks its a firewall, but Im not using one, that Im aware of...

Any idea's on rectifying my problem?

You will need to give a little more info other than you can't log on.
server irc.cheechy.net points to a working quakenet server.
How far do you get?? Do you get connected at all? Is there any error message?
Are you IRCing from work or home ?
If at home and you do have a firewall, can you enable ports 6666-6669 ?

It's a problem his side, he gets the same thing connecting to two completely different IRC networks. It's not his client either, I got him to try connecting through telnet to no avail... leading me to the one conclusion that it must be a firewall, probably the one on the router... but he says he's got it turned off...

its the strangest thing...

I left my PC for a bit and now Im tring again and its working. I really dont have a clue.

strange, but disregard this for now.
