WHY AM I D-LINED
I rarely rarely goto efnet due to its obvious congestion yet its upsetting to know that now i cant get there at all. I have been given a link to a site that says i have an open proxy yet when checked ive found that i have none nor has my ip been blacklisted. Would someone tell me whats goin on? I have checked and am not on any blacklists. Anyone know whats up with this?
Re: WHY AM I D-LINED
It doesn't really make sense that you have been banned because your IP was found in a black list, yet it isn't actually in that black list. The server looks up your IP in the black list, and when it finds a match, it sets the ban. Are you sure your IP doesn't fall inside a range of IPs that have been banned?Bryn wrote:I rarely rarely goto efnet due to its obvious congestion yet its upsetting to know that now i cant get there at all.

If you are correct and you aren't listed in any black lists, then you should contact the server admins/opers of the server from which you were banned. If you can get on any other server (there are a lot of open servers these days, and not all of them use these black lists), you can do /stats p irc.server.com , which will list for you the opers on that server and their idle time in seconds. If you can't get on IRC, follow the 'servers' link on the front page of http://www.efnet.info ... here, you can find contact email addresses for all servers. Not all servers have opers/admins that check these forums, and in fact, I think most don't, making these forums not the best place to go to to get bans lifted.
banned and D line
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 ?). now each time i try to reconnect, the connection is just "reste by peer"...
what's happening what am i suppose to do ???

although it sounds like you might have a bad internet connection, if so there's nothing you can do about the connection reset by peer. you could try calling and complaining to your ISP, but they would probably think you were crazy if you said you keep getting connection reset by peer on EFnet
if you're getting banned with open proxy messages, maybe you should check to see if you are an open proxy?
try the tools on http://spamlinks.openrbl.org/tools-proxy.htm#web
also check http://openrbl.org to see if you are listed in blacklists. i know many servers use blitzed.org, njabl.org, and/or dsbl.org blacklists. follow directions on whatever blacklists you might be listed on for getting removed from that list.
