Have you tried connecting to port 6667 of other servers? How about port 6667 of your own machine? Try this. Use telnet to connect to... for example, your isp's mail server, port 6667. 127.0.0.1 port 6667 (this is your local machine) localhost port 6667 (another way to connect to your local machine) yahoo.com port 6667 (some random host) port 6667 of the irc server you're trying to use. port 6667 of some other irc server. Trying to connect to port 6667 of anything other than an irc server should get you either no responce at all, then a connection timed out after a long wait, or a connection refused. To use telnet to do that, type in the command telnet hostname port where hostname is a domain name or an ip address, and port is the port number.

Hi folks, I have been trying to use Epic the ircii equivalent of Fedora for sometime without success. When I try connecting to any irc server using port 6667, I get the error message that I have no route to host. When I try using other ports such as 6668, or 6669, it connects ok. Does this mean that port 6667 is disabled on my machine or disabled by my provider? I need to activate this port to be able to connect to the irc.the-bofh.com. Does anyone have an experience with this subject to lend me a hand? Cheers, Cris _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
