I have connected to several IRC servers, and all seem to work except ZANET (the only server I happen to go on). Does anyone know of a zanet server that will allow me to connect to? I have tried apophis.zanet.org.za and atlantis.zanet.org.za and neither work. Those are the only 2 I know of, does anyone know the others?
 
why cant you connect, if it has your IP on a blocked list then you can just recconect to iBurst to get a new IP or are you having ping timeout problems
 
I don't think it has anything to do from iBurst's side, I know irc kicks people off who use GPRS, and my error message is "No route to host". Zanet obviously isn't happy with iBurst hosts (forgive me as I do not know the technical side of this stuff). Just wish there was some way to get around this rubbish of zanet's, because I miss chatting!! :(
 
irc does not kick people off using gprs, maybe that one server or network does but thats unlikely its probably that the gprs connection is too slow and doesn't recieve the server ping so it timesout

but thats soemthing else entirley, no route to host means you can't send data through the gateway, its either because you aren't connected or because your firewall or some other software is blocking it, although I don't see how some servers would work and zanet wouldn't... are you sure the server is up?
 
I'm using GPRS, and that particular server it does kick me off as well, or refuses to log me on. My line speed is slighly higher than my dialup modem and actually very good for GPRS (50kbps).

I've spoken to the ops on the server, and they it's because (excuse if I get the incorrect terminology - I too, am not technical ;) MTN uses a proxy server and my IP is shared. Therefore, the server sees many connections from a single IP and assumes cloning - and I automatically get autokilled or can't even join. Can many users from iBurst share the same IP?
 
no, we have a cache proxy for http only, every UTID has its own IP assigned when you log on the network
