I have not used irc in quite a while. I am trying to get back into the irc world and log into any ef server and I get the same message:
Connecting to irc.umich.edu (6667) <------this is one example
-
* Unable to connect (Connection refused)
It does not seem to matter what ef host I try to connect to I get the same message. If you know something I am doing wrong or if I somehow got banned can I redeem myself or get this fixed?
Thank you in advance.

Re: connection refused
could you possibly have a router or firewall on your network that is blocking outgoing connections on normal IRC ports? Try some of the 'alternative' ports that are listed in this thread: http://www.efnet.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119 . Or, check/change the settings on your router/firewall or ask your network administrator to do it to allow IRC connections on normal IRC ports.pb99 wrote:It does not seem to matter what ef host I try to connect to I get the same message.

(keep in mind that this is really old info, and is possibly not correct. also, some of the servers listed don't exist anymore, or have changed name/admin/location/policies)

Try irc.efnet.nl or irc.limelight.uspb99 wrote:I have not used irc in quite a while. I am trying to get back into the irc world and log into any ef server and I get the same message:
