Need help with MIRC

[somethingforkaty]

Hi,

There are only 2 working servers at the moment and i have been banned from both! Can anyone shed any light on this? Does this mean i have one of those virus's that attack mIRC??? If so please tell me how to get rid of it!!!

Below are the 2 messages i get when i try to join Jade or Animal. I can't get online DALnet, so i can't ask any DALnet people for help, and help people on other servers won't help me cause it's not happening on their server.

If anyone gets on DALnet please ask an IRC Cop for me!!!

Hey, I got that same message!

I've been banned from Jade

I did get into Animal though, but it took aaggeess.

[somethingforkaty]

That's what happened to me! I was banned from Jade a bit ago, so started using animal but got banned from there too

You should be careful, you may have that virus too ...

Hmm, that can't be too good.

Katy - I'm getting the same message. I've uinstalled and reinstalled MIRC, so I think the problem is with the server rather than the software.

I think we should all just veto DalNET and find a permanent on-line home elsewhere - Alternativenet wasn't too bad was it?

[Tiberius]

Alternativenet is certainly more stable. However, overall, (unlike Dalnet, Efnet, Undernet, or even Austnet)it hasn't got too many people on it.

[fathershark]

that would make it an, erm, more "intimate" setting. All of you come in - I'll just light some candles and slip into something more comfortable.

as i said in the other board, try mesra.kl.my.dal.net and that kernal one that i don't know off the top of my head. tadaaa.

Kiss DALnets arse goodbye. It was laggy as all crap anyway.

I say we either go to EFnet or AustNet, and I don't think EFNet is a good choice because there's no channel services that I know of on it, and you can see everyones IPs (leave you open to DoS attacks) and AusNet takes care of both these failings.

AustNet is also Australian. (Or you would get the impression it is) And it's got more people than altnet, so you will probably get some new people stumbling into the channel drunk or something...... dont look at me. i'm broke!

[Tiberius]

I'm with Catfish here; why are we still bothering with Dalnet? Okay so some server mirrors on it may be working for now but there's no guarantee they're going to be working later on, which is frustrating for everyone. So I'm putting my vote in for Austnet too. I was on there yesterday in the #sydney channel and it was perfect. I had no troubles logging on and there seems to be lots of services and channels already on Austnet.

lets just go there tib... they're all sheep. they'll follow.
