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).

* Whaps forehead.

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?

I dunno.

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

Ah, but do not underestimate the Canadian plot. Several hard drives went down with all hands in Canada, hence highlighting the presence of *something* disturbing computers in Canada.

Why does it strike me? The explanation is very simple: on a rainy day, some Frenchmen decided to settle in a part of Canada, for the sake of bothering the rest of Canada. So either they brought this computer disease with them, or it was something along the lines of a vengeance.

Well, at least I am helping you keep this thread as visible as possible Narf. Who knows? Someone with an actual, plausible idea might pop in and give you the answer you are seeking (I think that looking for the product of 6 and 9 might be helpful to you. Well, perhaps not though).
