It looks like you are trying to connect to Prison by IP address and a host that resolves to (presumably) all efnet servers. IP addresses can change, so it's a better idea to use the host name. If you look here:

http://www.efnet.org/?module=servers

You will see a list of all efnet servers. Try the ones on that list. When you find one that you can connect to, add it to your server list.
irc.he.net Notice -- Osc (osc@irc.packetmonkeys.com) is now an operator
<CHANFIX> You're now logged in with the following flags: ADMIN.
<OCF> Authentication successful. Welcome, Osc.

First, as this has nothing to do with the IRCD, this is being moved to Help.

Second, you weren't banned, your connection was timing out. irc.efnet.net is a round robin that points to a limited amount of US servers. As Osc said, try one of the servers on the page.

EDIT: Third, it looks like you're trying to use a webchat. Try chat.efnet.info.

what about this looks like a webchat?
irc:// is a valid addressing scheme, often registered by mirc or the like, so clicking on <a href=irc://irc.efnet.us/#joemamasougly>#joemamasougly</a> would launch mirc, connect to irc.efnet.us, and join #joemamasougly

Ah, some of us don't use IRC from Windows. ;)
