IRC problems
« on: February 03, 2003, 12:34:45 AM »
I've been trying on and off for 2 hours to try and get connected to #amiga.org on IRC, and having no luck at all.

I've tried Trillian and mIRC (yes I'm using a PC - it's not through choice) and both come back with the same reply:

*** Couldn't resolve hostname

This happens on arena.webchat.org and irc.webchat.org.  I even tried NeoFree's website (http://amiga.hostingmountain.com) to get connected and got basically the same result.

It's not that I can't connect to #amiga.org, the problem is getting connected to any IRC client.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thought it might be, they've screwed up many times before.  But I was speaking on ICQ and they had the same problem with IRC.  I thought I'd post here to see if anyone had a reason/explanation for the problem.

You can use the i.p.'s listed in the Information link listed under Extra Stuff on the left-hand side.

Or you can try irc.webmaster.com port 7000.

:-P

Sometimes the IRC servers I go on can't be resolved. I then always change the port to connect to. 6666, 6667, 6668, 7777 etc.. Usually works, but not always.

Cheers guys, IRC is working now so I haven't had to try any of your suggestions, but I've got a note of them for when it happens again. :-D
