"Ident" connection miffs, lag, and ONE MAD HOBBIT #97121 09/09/04 02:28 AM

Since I've returned to college, though, I've started getting this message and others like it when I try to log in: Quote: * Connecting to carrot.tx.us.blitzed.org (7000) - -carrot.tx.us.blitzed.org- * Looking up your hostname... - -carrot.tx.us.blitzed.org- * Found your hostname, cached - -carrot.tx.us.blitzed.org- * Checking Ident - -carrot.tx.us.blitzed.org- * No Ident response - Ping? Pong! - -carrot.tx.us.blitzed.org- If you are having difficulty connecting, try typing /QUOTE PONG 133804005 - Closing Link: 0.0.0.0 (Ping timeout) - and it takes at LEAST a dozen attempts to log in, if not more. If I finally DO make it online, the connection lags like CRAZY (this is a DSL connection, and thus should not suffer such lags) and seems to sign me off rather often. Can somebody help me out? I'm at the end of my rope HobbitGuy1420

You will need to speak to the network administrator or appropriate teacher, and see if they can help you. If they say you shouldn't be using IRC, then we can't help you either. You may want to use the Search feature for a lot of information about 'Ping Timeout' - expand to 'All Forums' and 'All Posts' for best results. Also check out the 'Common IRC Errors' thread at the top of this forum. Regards, Mentality/Chris
