Forums Connection Issues Unable to Connect

For some reason i can't sign in anymore. I didnt change anything. I was on it one week then signed out and the next week i cant get in. I have no idea what happened. It says unable to connect to server when i try to connect to karaoke-mp3 and then when i try to connect to another room it makes me type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY and my password but still cant connect to the karaoke room.

Hi
I want to say that i am puzzled about what happened in my case
Ill say i have been using irc for years
But well all was well then i went away of home for 2 weeks(in March) and when i got back,i found that my irc is systematically "unable to resolve server"in what matters to undernet....but Dalnet works(crashes sometimes but reconects)and other networks i checked all work too...

here is a sample of what i get:

* Connecting to Budapest.HU.EU.UnderNet.org (6666)
-
* Unable to resolve server
-
* Connect retry #1 us.undernet.org (6667)
-
* Unable to resolve server
-
* Connect retry #2 eu.undernet.org (6667)
-
* Unable to resolve server
-
* Connect retry #3 newyork.ny.us.undernet.org (6661)

-
* Connect retry #7 oslo.no.eu.undernet.org (6668)
-
* Unable to resolve server
-
* Connect retry #8 london.uk.eu.undernet.org (6663)
(...)
I want to know what can i do about this?
Should i un-install irc all up and re-install it again?
Or what?
Help
Thanks to all who do so

Hey
did you manage to resolve your issue or no?

Undernet's "round robin" DNS server (irc.undernet.org) goes down from time to time. You can usually find a list of actual servers by google for '<Network Name> Servers'.

http://www.google.com/search?q=undernet+servers

If their entire DNS server is down, you won't be able to resolve any of their server addresses. In that case, try connecting here:

irc://154.35.175.201:6667/

IP 154.35.175.201
PORT 6667

For what it's worth, Undernet is dying. Tell them that you're going to say goodbye now.

Anyone here with Abjects information? I cant login for about 2 months now

Thanks Raccoon
The irc link you gave worked
About the server list pretty much all is out...

p.s.-just noticed that the host disconnects some over last hour or so(* [10101] Host disconnected)but restarts next(bit annoying but better then no under)hope this is just temporary.

It's not temporary. Hopefully Undernet will put their name to rest by 2016 so they stop giving the rest of IRC a bad name.


Jonas: Your question is answered here:

To nobody in particular:
Funny, I sit on Undernet and Abjects both with absolutely no connection problems. Could it be that they are blocking isp's (or even regions/countries)?
Raccoon: I agree about giving the rest of IRC a bad name .. It would be a nice surprise if they finally gave up on ircu2 and adopted unreal, but that's asking a lot .. they'd have to give up "X"

I want say this,for me in first place it is weird that to see other ppl/users/... in undernet who are either using servers that do not work in my case or Chatzilla(which for me(apart the server you gave) is not working at all(undernet,dalnet,...)since i had the ird issue)...
But most of all i strange the visible fact that while i am online in undernet i see the others who barely fall out offline like i do(in rather some frequency( [10101] Host disconnected))...

On meanwhile the other/original servers of my irc(that in an attempt to solve it,was updated lil after i returned home in march) keep not working...("unable to connect")...
I wonder if there are any other servers that can be used?

p.s.:
Dalnet(in my irc) is stable so far/till now...

I do not know if this issue i am facing is temporary but my dalnet was working fine till yesterday....
Today i got on and yet im not able to log in
has follows:

-
* Connecting to rumble.fl.us.dal.net (6668)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
-
* Connect retry #1 rumble.fl.us.dal.net (6668) (dns pool)
-
* Connect cancelled
-
* Connecting to broadway.ny.us.dal.net (6665)

-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
-
* Connect retry #2 hotspeed.sg.as.dal.net (7000)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
-

Can anyone tell me if this is similar issue to what i had in undernet months ago or like just a temporary thing or rather other issue type(ex: anti-virus messing up?)?

the problem persists still,no server i got on dalnet seem to work

help anyone.....

The situation i described above for the time being is solved

I sent an email (actually, two) for help with a connection problem.

I've had no response for a few days now. Is there another address that I should use? I sent all the info to: banned@irchighway.net

My problem is that I'm suspected as being a spambot and I need to be reset (I think).

Thanks.

Same message here once I installed the most recent version. Funny thing is, I can't connect at home anymore, but I had no problem using another DSL line elsewhere. It says unable to connect to server" (operation timed out), and continues to try to connect and fails. Identid is enabled. How to troubleshoot this? I may try an older version of MiRC. I've had no problem with irchighway.net previously. I can't connect to any other server either - same message.

Also having the same problem but I'm on a satalite internet hughes net modem and Win10. Tried different port, net, and servers.
