Forums Connection Issues Getting disconnected regularly

Hi. I connect to IRC behind a firewall using Proxy for both server and DCC.

I am able to connect to all the networks, initiate DCC chat sessions and even download files.

However, i get disconnected from all the servers after a time period which ranges from 1 minute to 4 minutes.

The output while trying to connect to EFNET is:

* Connecting to irc.inet.tele.dk (6661)
-
-irc.inet.tele.dk- *** Looking up your hostname...
-
-irc.inet.tele.dk- *** Checking Ident
-
-irc.inet.tele.dk- *** Couldn't look up your hostname
-
-irc.inet.tele.dk- *** No Ident response
-
Welcome to the Internet Relay Network ullusingh
Your host is irc.inet.tele.dk[irc.inet.tele.dk/6661], running version 2.8/hybrid-6.4.1
This server was created Sun Sep 7 2003 at 14:30:50 CEST

------------some more stuff---------------

End of /MOTD command.
-
* ullusingh sets mode: +i
-
[DkChk VERSION]
-
Local host: unknown (210.212.148.135)
-
* Disconnected


The last line (* Disconnected) comes after nearly 3 minutes on EFNET.

Earlier when i tried on this forum, i was told that "No Ident response" should not be a problem.

So what is the problem?? Can anybody help??

Waiting for the reply.

Your original thread holds some suggestions. Have you tried them all?

Until certain questions have been answered (like the ones I asked in the other thread, i.e. does it happen with every network you try?) it's harder to help you further. On top of that question, do you have all necessary driver updates like JRLS suggested? Do you connect through a firewall? If you disable the firewall does that help? Is there an error message after you get the * Disconnect message?

Regards,

Dear Mentality,

Yes, it happens with every network.
I dont know what is JRLS. Tried through Google. Could not get. Pls tell me what is JRLS and where to get it.
Yes, I connect through a firewall. Cant get the firewall to switch off, but my administrator tells me it should not be a problem because he has opened all the relevant ports.
No there is no error message after the disconnect message.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

are you running a script?
find out what your quit message is. ask someone in channel that ur in when u disconnect. sometimes it should be in the status window. but sometimes due to certain scripts you cant see the server message.

maybe try a new installation of mirc.. and see if that helps?

JRLS was someone in the other thread (your original one) that I linked to. He/She made a suggestion in that thread. I was asking if you've followed it.

Regards,

HI, i managed to find out the message in the channel when i get disconnected. it is:

*** ullusingh (~mudi_m@hidden ) Quit (Read error: EOF from client)

What can it be??

One thing interesting which may help is that when i keep on typing something in the channel or keep on triggering, i manage to stay on without getting disconnected.

Pleeez help.

Just one more thing which i may add is that on immediately rejoining the same channel, i never get the message that the nickname is in use.

So, will someone pleeeeez help??
