M....sorry , you are wrong. I tried mIRC 6.02 and 6.16 with the same result. In addition I tried xChat, with the same result. I have had my ip for over a year with no issues. Which does not matter becuase it is a version baised ban, not ip.
I never said it was an IP based ban. It is clearly a ban that has been put into place because you are using an irc client which the channel does not allow.
This is shown by the error message that you are given.
mIRC is not a real client? When did this happen?
So our problem is not related to our client. I know for a fact that mIRC and xchat are allowed on my chosen channel because I have talked to several of the ops and the creator.
The error message is telling you that you are banned because of your irc client application. Like it or not, those are the facts, and they are indicated as such from the error message you are given from the channel.
So the problem is something else. Any ideas?
Yes. Change IP addresses and connect with a different irc chat application, if you can connect with it, then disconnect and reconnect with your mirc application and see what happens.
