EN World chat--help

[johnsemlak]

OK, first I'll say I have very little experience in IRC chat. I've always balked at it's seeming complexity and in the past few years I've used instant messeging instead, which appears much simpler. So I'm at the 'IRC chat for Complete Idiots' level.

I've tried to log on to EN World's chat room several times and can't. I go to the chat room and when I hit connect I get the following:

"(K-lined: Connection not allowed)"

I'm using a dial-up connection at home (I can log on fine at work where we have broadband). I use Explorer at home and Opera at work.

I've also downloaded mIRC and tried to log on to psionics.chat.net using that with no success.

Any ideas what to do?

Well, k-line means server ban, which means that your ISP has been server banned, for some reason. I'll see what I can do about getting it lifted.

Thanks NiTessene

The ISP is mtu-net.ru , BTW
