Personally, I got sick and tired of waiting for a reply from them, especially when some servers recognized that my ident was active and working, while others didn't.
I just stopped trying to connect to DalNet, and sent them a nice e-mail explaining why I refused to use their network any longer. Doubt it made any difference to them, but there are 4 other networks that I am a regular on now, since that time.
My advice..either keep trying, or forget it and go to a different network.
