I'm trying to connect to EFNET, but it is closing the connection all the time
[ERROR from irc.chat.org] : :Closing Link: alwyn[alwyns@196.34.63.75] irc.concentric.net (No authorization: -2) [11:06:47] [SOCKET ERROR]:Connection closed by remote host
Help?
Most irc-servers only allow people with a hostname to connect to their services. Thus, if you can start irc on a machine that has a reverse lookup, you can connect. The machine you are sitting on now can not be resolved by the irc server, ie: [alwyns@196.34.63.75]. If you get a hostmask like [alwyns@server.company.com], it will let you in. Then you just do "/join #zope", and Bob's your proverbial uncle :) I would also like to remind everybody that has the time/possibility - hang out on the channel - it's very rewarding to have a channel with people that can offer "instant" support. I'm just starting to learn Zope, and the people in there have been very helpful. Regards, Alexander Limi part-time-#zope-dweller :)
