Banned: Cached - please help

[shan]

I was logging onto EfNET fine last night, and all I did was visit a few channels, then disconnect. The next time i tried to connect, I received this message: "Banned: Cached" - Can anyone tell me what this means or how I can deal with this? Thank you in advance for any help given! =)

also, half the times I also get a msg:
"You are not authorized to use this server."

I'm so confused

No idea what the K:line means; it may have been individually set. You could try another open server using irc.efnet.org.

Not every server allows just anyone to join. That's what the unauthorized message is; your client is not allowed on that server.

to be more specific, your ident@hostname combination is not in the access list. ie - if you have ~user12@pool-12.smallisp.ro (~ means no ident is running or accessable), and the server in question only allows idented clients, or non-idented clients on *.com, then "you are not authorized to use this server"

The "cached" simply means you connected to that server multiple times, were refused access multiple times, so it cached the fact you werent allowed on because pointless reconnecting when you cant get on is a waste of CPU..
