Suggestions:
-Check in the actualy server settings itself, check port number there, as well as in the main port
- Simplify your nick, I have trouble connecting when my nick is set to like Arjuna|away of Arjuna-connectionissues (I spent a few mins playing around with this, so connect as a simple one word name, then swap to whatever once conected.
Ports ranging from 6667-6671 are now open, as a random shot at a possible solution. If neither of the original two worked, though, then I might just be handing you a placebo. Delicious sugar pill, though.

I dare you to make less sense.
Are you a newbie, or do you have access to newbies?
We really haven't got any suggestions aside from those already posted on the Sim News (and in this thread). I assume you've tried connecting directly to glacier.blazeirc.net.
Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you. We're still waiting on word from Veynom about the permanent server.
