RE: [cgiirc-general] Connection timed out - Everything tried, nothing worked - please help me

[peter g. <plu...@p1...>]

it does look like your isp are blocking it
might be an idea to try one of the other ports thought as your isp may not
be blocking those

But when I connect to the server per mIRC, the following comes up while
connecting:

-  You are connected to wineasy.se.quakenet.org.
-  Available ports are 6667, 6668, 6669, 6670 and 7000.

and in my cgi:irc it says the following

*** Connecting to irc.quakenet.org [193.213.112.156] port 6667

*** An error occured: Connecting to IRC: Connection timed out (60 seconds)

so normally the port should be ok

or do I need to call my provider again asking them to free the ports?
And are there any other possibilities which could be causing this problem?

Anyway thank you for the fast answer! :)

Greets,
Eugen
