Irc?

Channel view for “#xbmc” opened.
User mode for jeffxxx is now +i

I'm badly stumped by a problem (Linux XBMC) and thought I might get some quick help via IRC. No matter userid I choose, I''m banned from the channel. Never been there before, can't be banned :) What's up with this?

Probably the host you use - do you use a proxy by any chance?

Nope. I'm connecting to irc.freenode.net via a bog-standard embarq dsl connection. I've tried both the KDE client konversation and the firefox plugin chatzilla.

I am having the exact same problem as JeffElkins

[Anonymoose]

sorry to double post;
I am also using embarq dsl
I am going through a wireless router, but that shouldn't make a difference.

I have tried the xchat-gnome and the firefox plugin.

Quick fix would be to /j #help and get a cloak.
