I use both Trillian IRC and mIRC. Both of which don't let me connect at all.

When I was able to connect using mIRC, I was able to connect with Trillian IRC.

So it may be a problem with IRC and not my set up ?

I apologize for my unfamiliarity with IRC. I saw that a couple people had problems but, at the same time, it seems a few people get on regularly.

I would be there right now if it let me connect.

I haven't been able to connect to IRCnet since yesterday, either, if it makes you feel better about not being alone ...

In that it means I don't yet have to go digging through IRC documentation to try and get a Dom2 game, yes, yes it does make me feel better

Well, I'm pleased that I was able to bring at least some teensy weensy ray of sunshine into someone's otherwise bleak day.

BTW, what I get using mIRC is: "Closing Link: Arryn[unknown@208.190.65.153] (Unauthorized connection)", no matter what server/port is attempted. I haven't changed any of my settings since the Last time I played in one of Zen's games.

It's behaving as if they changed something on the server(s) in the authentication protocols and I'm no longer recognized. Either that, or someone hacked into IRC and did something to spoof IRC into tagging me as a "bad person" to be blocked. Yesterday, one of the Messages I got, which I've not been able to replicate, said something about being "Banned". I wish I'd captured it.

I've only been connected to IRC 3 times, twice for blitz games, and the third time to ask Zen a question.

Sigh.

I don't know of anything outside of the US (as far as servers) but the 3 servers work for me. It may be an issue with your router/firewall?

Trillian does have some problems from time to time, but mIRC always works for me. I really can't say whether one method or the other works.

If any of the IRC guru's know, please speak up for these poor lost souls.

Hmmm Ive avoided IRC for a long time because it was so unsecure. I suppose alot of that is fixed by now (and gotten worse in other areas I suppose). Anyway Im debating, maybe, popping up an IRC server on my ISP machine.

IRC Users maybe can tell me. Would switching to a server just for dominions be no big deal? Or is this something where you would rather have just one server, and have it offer a dominions channel?

It may well be. I am behind a router/firewall. However, as I mentioned, I've not changed anything on my end since the very first time I connected and played you (and navrunner, et. al.) in a game. So unless they've monkeyed with the servers in the past week or so ...

I say we either let Gandalf make a server or we switch the server we play on completely. irc.gamesurge.net has never caused me problems.
