irc help needed....

[B]

Ok I tried to logon and I get this:

Connect retry #4 irc.enterthegame.com (6667)
-
-Germany.EnterTheGame.Com- *** Looking up your hostname...

Why is this and how do I fix it? (or tell me another way to connect...)

That is all, thanks!

 

[Jackal]

We dont want you there anyways. So best find some new friends.

^lol

etg is really gay about IPs, like it won't allow me on if i'm using my cellphone as a modem. are u connecting from anywhere out of the ordinary?

 

[TWD]

It looks like another user or your network/provider has been causeing trouble. In order to ban him they probably had to do a blanket ban on a wide range of IP addresses.

 

[Rambowjo]

Proxy, go!

 

[Kazimira]

You could try changeing your IP adress.

 

[Igoy]

Message from DeeperShade: If you change your IP, you'll be able to connect.

 

[hyrulian]

Yeah, if your ISP uses dynamic IP, chances are someone once had the address you have now and fscked around or their computer had spyware on it. If you reconnect to your ISP you should have a different IP, and then you shouldn't have a problem.

If you don't have dynamic IP, you'll probably need to talk to ETG staff. Apparently the "blank PM spambot" detection gets tripped off easily (compared to some of their other detections).

Thanks I'll try resetting my IP somewhere in the weekend. Untill then you'll have to do without me...

Jackal: Kisses back

 

[B]

Uhm, is there any other way to connect to etg? I've reset my router a million times and got a new IP and whatnot but I still get the same message. I want back, I miss you guys...

 

[SlayerDragon]

They have probably banned a range of IPs in your ISP's network. Not sure what you can do about it besides appeal to the ETG admins.

 

[Festering Anus]

cmd

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

if you are on a mac, kill youself

 

[SlayerDragon]

If he's behind a router that will only possibly change his local network IP.

 

[Wormbo]

I bet it's related to the spam bot attacks lately. Maybe some of them came from your ISP's IP range and thus the entire range was banned.

Try contacting ETG staff for a solution.

Looks like B will have to become Melobee for IRC at least.

 

[Rambowjo]
