Anyone else but me having issues connecting to the IRC server? It keeps failing at DNS blacklist check, and my IRC program then loops back to the start again.

* Looking up 85.25.152.36
* Connecting to 85.25.152.36:6667 (85.25.152.36:6667)
* Connected. Now logging in.
* *** Checking Ident
* *** Looking up your hostname...
* *** No Ident response
* *** Couldn't look up your hostname
* *** Checking your IP against DNS blacklist
* *** Aborting DNS blacklist checks
* Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Connection timed out)
* Disconnected (Connection reset by peer)
Cycling to next server in AmigaWorld...
* Disconnected ()
[loops back to the start]

What is going on here? 0o

Working fine for me via mibbit (using irc.amigaworld.net:+6697)

I usually have everything EXCEPT 85.25.152.36 turned off, for AmigaWorld, so it only tries to connect on 85.25.152.36.... which is clearly failing. I now turned off "Only connect to selected" and after 85.25.152.36, it then went to the next one on the list, which is irc.amigaworld.net (91.213.203.192:6667), and that connected.

Apparently something is borked at the 85.25.152.36 address. I have that one set as the only one I connect to because, at least at one time, that was the only one that had the Nickserv logins working.

Fair play, but if that host is down, you aren't connecting full stop. Hope you can at least get on now. Most of the time I seem to be connected to NO.AmigaWorld.net.

Well, now ALL of the addresses I have on my IRC client for AW are getting "Connections reset by peer" after my connection attempt.... but I don't see NO.amigaworld.net on that loop. Just now tried to add that one, and that one failing even quicker. Is there anything non-standard about that one I could be factoring in? Like it, say, uses something other than port 6667?

Well, the Orgin one worked, dunno about the other one since the IRC didn't get to that one. On the other hand, I see no sign it "saw" my nickserv login... it didn't rename me to another nick, either, though.
