Forums Connection Issues Unable to Connect

This is exactly the same situation I'm in right now. Went to that channel from an outwar related channel, and now I can't log in to Quakenet. Any idea on how to remedy this?

You have to contact an admin from quakenet... that's the only real solution to your problem.

Ok...well I'm an irc noob. How do I contact a Quakenet admin?

http://www.quakenet.org/

Check the FAQ's and Forum and Contact link, I imagine (in that order).

Please don't double post.

Regretfully the Connection refused error is one that you can't do anything about except keep trying. In my experience, it means that the server that you're trying to connect to is full, and in a case like undernet, you keep being routed to a different server, and all of the connections for that server, at that time, are occupied.

i am always getting a message like below,

Connecting to irc.abducted.us (6667)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
-
* Connect retry #1 irc.abducted.us (6667) (dns pool)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
-
* Connect retry #2 irc.abducted.us (6667)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
-
* Connect retry #3 irc.abducted.us (6667) (dns pool)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)

it will continue till retry #99
what can be the problem? i am using dial up connection
and i cannot connect to any server.
plz help me

You only seem to be trying *one* server (at least in that example). are you sure you cannot connect to *any* server?

i am sure of that, i have tried many servers that are on the server list that comes with the mirc software nothing gets connected, the problems are always same

Part of your problem is the fact that you are using a dial-up connection, so your actual connection to the server is too slow for that server and/or port. Regretfully there's nothing that I know of to help with this, aside from suggesting that you get a faster internet connection.

Uh... that's not likely to be an issue. You can connect to IRC on dialup easily unless you have a REALLY slow dialup (300baud anyone?).

Routers, firewalls, other internet software... it can all play a part. As you can see from this thread, there are a LOT of causes for connection issues and a LOT of ways to make it work. You really have to troubleshoot it yourself to narrow it down. Otherwise it is just random guess work for anyone to help you and that's not a good way to find a solution.

Hello,

although I know no one has posted in this thread for several months, I would still like some help on my problem.
I shall try to give you the information you need in order to help me. The error that I get is

(16:17:36) * Connecting to irc.infiltrate.nl (6667)
(16:17:58) * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)

Obviously, I want to connect to irc.infiltrate.nl.
I have tried other servers (quakenet and such) and I get the same message. I have tried connecting to the ip-adresses as well, and that did not work. I don't have a firewall and my virusscan isn't on. I have talked to other people that are usually on the server I go to, and they tell me they don't have any problems connecting. When I try run>cmd and then ping infiltrate.nl, I get 'Time-out at *something*' (it's in Dutch, I don't know the English term for it). I also get this when pinging google.com. I can surf the internet and MSN works just fine, even downloading is not a problem. I have no idea how to get to my router's settings (Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC #) (don't know if that's relevant). The problem started yesterday. I had been taking my computer apart because it wasn't working anymore. Then, when it all worked again, so did mIRC. Then I noticed my sound wasn't working, so I took the soundcard out and put it back in (this while my computer was turned off). Then, something happened to the storage device on which I had mIRC installed. I restarted my computer and it worked fine again. Except mIRC. Now I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I'd rather tell you too much than too little.
I would like some help on this!

Hi guys, I just swaped from dsl to cablemodem, but now i cant connect.
When i connect, it doesnt take my ip, instead it uses the server's IP and i get my DNS resolved with server's IP like this:

Local host: 66-252-7-150.Eden.The-IRC.Com (66.252.7.150) IRC Network Gatito_Felix!~slash@66.252.7.150
IRC Network Gatito_Felix!~slash@208.99.193.130
Local host: unknown (72.51.18.254)
Gatito_Felix is ~slash@72.51.18.254
PhazeNet IRC Network Gatito_Felix!~slash@72.20.48.56

and so....it changes IP as i change servers, but most times it stucks at start when the MOTD comes and stays there
I already tried changing connecting options in mirc like 'on connect, always get' local host - Ip address
but still nothing
I have a LAN IP address 192.168.0.10 and WAN IP Address: 200.119.* which takes me to another external IP 200.119.*
Maybe there is some modem configuration that could be make
i hope someone can help me
thank you"""!!

I'm not sure what the problem is... you claim you can't connect but your problem description shows that you in fact can connect to multiple severs (and you're even able to whois yourself). Are you having trouble connecting or are you just confused about your ip address?

Thats as far as i get. As you can see it doesnt even pass the MOTD. It lag as hell the get disconnected>
* [10101] Host disconnected
In the quoted text above you can see the IP making an ident request, then my address with the same IP>

hi i need help getting back into the austnet server i just got banned for some G-line thing id really like to get back on to the server if anyone can help id really appreciate it

talk to the people running austnet, no one here can help you with that, so try google for austnet ..

hi!

if i try to connect i get this...

Connecting to irc.barafranca.com (6667)
Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)

al the internet trafic goes through a router, can that be a/the problem?

thanx!

Yes, that can be part or all of the problem, however, that error has been known to show with all kinds of connections.
Dial-up, cable, DSL, shared (ie: using a router), and not.

Simply put, the server didn't respond to the IRC client in a timely manner, so the client returned a Timeout error.

I've even seen this happen on non-irc items, such as web browsers just going to view a page on the web.

thanx for youre awnser! i'll just give it up.... Seems like it wont work at all. Internet can be slow over here

but thanx annyway!
