Just so we can be 100% sure type /server kernel.ga.us.dal.net and see if it lets you on.

try /server 209.82.160.49
if that doesnt work, check to be sure you arent blocking mIRC or the server ports (6660-6669,7000-7002 and 113 for identd) in any firewall/router.

lol, not to worry, if you've lost your mind we'll keep an eye out for it...mine wanders off and gets lost a lot too.
i tested it when i posted it and just did again, it connects fine.

There is no bug, it's just that the IP 209.82.160.49 hasn't got a reverse DNS entry.

Try using kernel.ga.us.dal.net, but, use port 7002
Most firewalls only filter 6660-6669,7000 and forget to do 7001 and 7002

have you checked with comcast to see if there is anything you have to tweak?
