I was on a server last night and when I tried to go on it today and connect it comes up with a message saying "Unable to connect to IRC server" is this only temporary, will I be able to get on later?
Yes, that message is most likely a temporary condition; there could be many reasons for it. Try again later today or tomorrow. You might also try to see if they have a web page that might list their server/network status with more information.
