For some reason I can't connect to EFnet. It keeps connecting to ROXnet. I'm having the same problem with another server any idea why I would be having the same problem with two servers? Thanks for your help. Same question as lucy... what server hostnames are you trying to connect to? Also, this ma...

I can get on to #webchat but thats not the channel I want to be on. I click on the 'advanced' link but it doesn't work like it used to. It doesn't do anything. It doesn't do anything that I remember it did when it worked 'right'. The /join command doesn't work to get me on the channel I want to be ...

Clients matching *@chat.efnet.org: 32 local 0 remote the 32 current clients seem to agree tha tit is working Just out of curiosity... wasn't the webchat moved to a dedicated machine recenty because it couldn't handle the hundreds of users on it (over 300, wasn't it?) What happened to all of those? ...

I know I can use a different server, but irc.prison.net is may fav ;) I'll try seeing if my firewall is interfering. Try another server, and once you get on, /stats p irc.prison.net , which will show you a list of opers on that server and their idle time in seconds. /msg the opers with the lowest i...

I only get a response when I connect on port 6666 every other port just times out. This is a problem on your (or your ISP's) end. The servers are listening on other ports, that is for sure. Maybe some kind of firewalling on your end or at your ISP? The response I get is a bit fugue, most of the tim...

Only channels that are -s and -p will show up in the channel list. Also, if you are trying to get a list via /list, the list may be cut off before you get it all because there are so many channels on efnet, and the size of the whole list is greater than what the server can send you. There is a web-b...

gave up on it, munky?

Just out of curiosity, do you know where New Zealand is? (without sounding too much like I'm insulting your intelligence in any way :? ) Yes, I do. I live in Japan currently (and have for the last 6 years), and have also lived in the US and in Europe for extended periods of time :-) I also have a c...

The forums have been somewhat quiet of late, so we thought we'd try this to see if it invoked more discussions. That's a reasonable idea, but they are coming at too fast of a pace to keep up with and post a reponse. If someone actually posted a reaction to an "offsite news" post, the thread would b...

Hi, and welcome to the world of IRC and to EFNet. EFNet is one of many IRC networks out there. Some IRC networks are focused on certain topics, and some are general ones. EFNet is a large, general IRC network, so whatever you are interested in, you should be able to find somewhere on EFNet to talk a...

Yeah, but the weird thing is that I have supossedly been behind that proxy for a while, since I haven't changed my ISP, and until today, everything worked just fine! Not all servers require a working identd. Maybe until now, the server(s) you usually use haven't required identd, but recently they c...

My ISP is supossed to be running with a proxy. I think this is the key here. Look at this diagram: YOU | -----------> |ISP's PROXY| ----------> |EFNet IRC Server | Notice that the computer that is actually connecting to the IRC server is the proxy. That is the computer that EFNet sees as where the ...

It seemed ineffective to ask the questions without trying to describe the situation as accurately as I could--if someone was talking about me, it would seem weird for them to call me "the user" or <deleted>, but I will remove identifying information, hereafter. But you also said in another post: I ...

First, if I remember correctly, is not allowed to post people's hostnames and it is also not allowed to flame individuals on here, so your post probably will get edited before many people see it. As Manic said, you should contact the server admin of the oper's server (which, in this case, is him). M...

hello, i got dlined as well, but not for running eggdrops or anything ( im way too stupid to set those up ) but for having 4 friends on my psybnc server... (without any vhost if that is important ) what can i do to get my m8s back onto efnet with that bnc ? Your best bet is to NOT let others use yo...
