EpicDime E	Hello everyone, I keep getting a connection timed out error for every server I try. I haven't had this problem before. This is the error: Connect retry #1 QuakeNet (6667) (dns pool) - * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EpicDime E	I have checked both. I disabled both just to make sure and I am still getting the error. Could this be a ISP problem for some reason?

EpicDime E	Ok, thanks. I'm still pretty new to IRC. That's what it tried to connect to what I start the program.

There are a wide variety to choose from and unless you've changed the servers in the list, they should all work. So if you have trouble in the future, you can always connect from that list instead.
