This is a normal set of messages when you connect to almost any IRC network. Sometimes the wording and/or order differs, but there is nothing to worry about.
Were you able to join your chat room after connecting? If not, were you disconnected?
If so, then we would need to see the disconnection notice to possibly be able to help you understand why you were disconnected and give you ideas as to how to keep the disconnection from happening.

Please note that the network you specified in the connection display is XircN.net which might be different from xircn.com

If you were able to connect, but not able to join the chat room, or the chat room looked incorrect for some reason, then the difference between xircn.net and xircn.com might be the reason.

I just connected using /server irc.xircn.net
Here's a copy & paste of the status window

The only alteration to what I actually saw, and what I posted here, is the replacement of my IP address with *

As you can see from the time stamps, it did take a bit to completely connect.. nearly 10 seconds.

As the access from the website requires java, I suggest that you make sure that your java installation is correct and up-to-date.

I just tried the website and it worked with no problems.

If that still doesn't work, try downloading and installing mIRC from here, then using that to connect.

I just joined #lol_lobby and there are 17 users on it. The channels list only had 19 channels. It's a tiny 2 server network, one for clients and one for services. Far from a million channels. You have to be connecting to the wrong network.

There are 34 users and 26 invisible on 2 servers
26 operator(s) online
21 channels formed
I have 20 clients and 1 servers
-
Current Local Users: 20 Max: 25
Current Global Users: 60 Max: 65
-
irc.XircN.net 20 [33.33%]
`-services.xircn.net 40 [66.67%]
2 servers and 60 users, average 30.00 users per server

Try the following:
1) Open mIRC
2) Do NOT connect
3) type /debug @debug
4) Connect to the network
5) After you are connected, type /debug off
6) Copy & paste the information from the debug window here.

This might be enough for us to determine why we're getting such different responses to what should be the same network.

PM checked, although it would've been better for you to post it here. First thing I noticed is that your original topic referenced irc.XircN.net yet the log of the status window shows quakenet.org

These are two very different IRC networks, and while it doesn't explain you not being able to connect, it does explain the discrepancy in the number of channels when you do connect.

Try using /server irc.xircn.net and see if that works and if you're able to join your channel. It's unlikely, although not unheard of, for two different networks to be linked together. Note: That I reference two different networks, not two different servers.

For the others that have helped or tried to help with this topic, here's the information that was sent to my pm
