thanks for your answer, it's ok now (getting another IP each time i connect to my fai)

i think i might have an answer about the troubles i had : it seems like a problem with my antivirus software (don't know why) i changed to another one and it's ok now

well i've been connecting to efnet witht hese servers and this isp for quite some time now (several years from time to time) and never had these banned or d-lined troubles.......

what the hell ???

i had the surpise today to see i can't connect to efnet.demon.co.uk because i'm supposed to be banned with open proxy (what does it mean ?) or something... i just read a thread here saying to connect to irc.blessed.net. i did and it first worked, then it said i was D-lined (what does it mean too ?)....
