- I get this occasionally, it happens for various reasons...
- 1) you are too far from the IRC server... Some servers will only accept
- connections from within a certain geographical region, and point blank not
- connect you if you live outside that area.
- 2) the server is down.. if it ain't working properly it wll refuse you.
- 3) the server is full, all the lines in are full, it can't take any more
- connections.
-
- The solution in all cases is to attempt to connect to a different server.
- I suggest you find one close to you, which is reliable, and is not always
- running out of room. And have two or three back up servers for when that one
- don't work.
