I came across a link that in early january freenode had an attack. In any
event, my IRC has been buggered from approximately that time, give or take
a week. It used to automagically connect to freenode.
My landlord is the network admin, I don't have access to my router.
I was able to connect with at least one server using xchat (I've only ever
used xchat).
Are there specific IRC ports which I need open? If so, which ones and how
do I test their status? I went to wikipedia and the xchat FAQ, but so far
haven't figured this out.
any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Thufir
