I try to connect but get an error saying "No indent response"
I have no idea what that means?? And its also adds gline invasion to it. I have checked my firewall and i am confident that that is not the problem. If anyone knows whats wrong please respond to me. I need mIRC badley for some cs scrims. Thank you for you time.
I guess i should say that my firewall is Zone Alarm if that helps with anything.
There are many reasons why your Identd may not be working. Do you have the Identd server on in mIRC Options -> Connect -> Identd? Do you connect to the internet through a LAN and ICS on another computer? Are you using a router? Does your ISP have you behind a firewall? Does it work with Zone Alarm off altogether?
does k-lined mean that i am banned or something?? cause it does say that. So i am on the gamesnet website trying to figure out if im banned and also how to contact a person that can unban me.
Yes, k-lined means banned, register and post on
this forum.
I seem to remember answering this in another thread (correct me if I am wrong), so why do you keep asking the same question?
You're right, he's posted it three times now, second got deleted I assume, because I posted on it and can no longer find it.
Please dont post the same question on multiple forums and toss in a pm for good measure. See my reply to your pm. check those things and post on the forum Collective suggested
sorry but im am pretty sure that i followed the whole indentd steps and all. I did those like 3/4 days ago. That is i hope i did them right. Some people seem to think that my whole isp is banned? I dont know what any of this means. Sorry for the posts. I did not realize. My bad.
I already have went to the forum that collective showed me and posted. All they told me was like how 1 or more people evaded a ban for a while. One person has said that my whole isp is glined and there is nothing i can do! Well thanks for the help.
I also saw all of those firewall helpers in the forum that parabrat gave me. I am running on Zone Alarm. And it says there that if you have firewalls such as Zone Alarm then this forum is not for you or something like that.
Some people seem to think that my whole isp is banned? I dont know what any of this means.
ISP = The company that you pay to let you connect to the Internet. Sometimes when some people are really bad on IRC it makes the people in charge of a network ban the whole ISP, so all users of that ISP cannot connect. It doesn't mean that you have done something wrong. It just means that someone using the same ISP that you do may have done something wrong and then decided to avoid the bans placed on him. This usually results in the bans being issued again or a stronger ban placed on, and usually for a longer time too. Somewhere along the lines innocent people will get affected by it.
I am having problems staying connected to MIRC. I am using a router. Is this the problem?
Depends, be more specific.. what server, etc...
Also, have you tried other networks and other ports?
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but in ZoneAlarm, as in any firewall, you need to open port 113, which the servers use for identd.
open a port?? i dont know how to do that. Please me more specific.
ok i got gamesnet to remove the ban so im back on and connected. Thank you for your help.

I have not used MIRC very often, but one or two groups that I belong to utilise the chat rooms there. I now find that when I try to connect, I get the response that I am banned from the network due to Freeserve's (my isp) inaction on abusive members.
Is there anything I can do?
Thank you

Yes:
1. Email your ISP and express your disappointment in their lax attitude to dealing with abuse.
or...
2. Get a new ISP.
