It did the same for me a few hours ago Narf, but it works fine now. So I guess there is/was something wrong with the server, or something along these lines.

Still can't connect.

I got on just fine....

It changes it to a different gamesurge server... try changing the server to just irc.gamesurge.net in the connection manager.

That's the server name.

Hi. Nice wolf.

Hey, waitaminite...half a minute ago there was a wolf pic for your avatar..?

Perhaps I should make my Last post more clear...It is just irc.gamesurge.net in the connection manager. And it still doesn't work. I've tried /server.

It didn't work for me either a few minutes ago. There seem to be a problem with the server, but unlike you, I can usually connect after some (granted, quite a few) attempts.

Hmm... Perhaps I should get an award for having written the least helpful post since these forums were open. I do not have the slightest idea about why it doesn't always work, or more importantly, how to make it work.

This might of helped. Should've posted it earlier: [11:54] *** Connection to irc.gamesurge.net failed (couldn't resolve hostname).

I have the same message, so whatever it is, we are in the same boat. The difference is that I can eventually log on. Could it be a problem with overseas Users? It doesn't seem too likely at all, but who said informatics was to make any sense?

Nobody else seems to have the same error by the looks of it. Hmm... Incidentally, is this hostname the one of the server, or the one of the client?

[narf poit chez BOOM]

I dunno.

I live in Canada, so it's probably not location.
