   IRC Problems on AfterNET
  I'm having some IRC problems on AfterNET. I'm able to connect AND authenticate but I cant join any rooms (or issue any commands). I turned on debugging in mIRC and tried to take a peek at whats going on. I don't really know much about the protocol but it seems like when I issue a join command on any other IRC server I get a reply back like so:-> lindbohm.freenode.net JOIN #random123<- :xxxxxxxx!xxxxxxxx@unaffiliated/xxxxxxxx JOIN :#random123-> lindbohm.freenode.net MODE #random123<- :lindbohm.freenode.net MODE #random123 +ns<- :lindbohm.freenode.net 353 unsigned @ #random123 :@xxxxxxxx <- :lindbohm.freenode.net 366 unsigned #random123 :End of /NAMES list.<- :lindbohm.freenode.net 324 unsigned #random123 +ns<- :lindbohm.freenode.net 329 unsigned #random123 1275382283<- PING :lindbohm.freenode.net-> lindbohm.freenode.net PONG :lindbohm.freenode.net------------------------------------------------------------But on AfterNET I don't get any reply back.-> Amsterdam.NL.AfterNET.Org JOIN #random123   (nothing happens)<- PING :Amsterdam.NL.AfterNET.Org-> Amsterdam.NL.AfterNET.Org PONG :Amsterdam.NL.AfterNET.Org------------------------------------------------------------Any clue at what I could check for? (I've already enabled ident, tried disabling my routers & OS firewall, stuck my PC in my routers DMZ, etc)   
  Have you tried a different server (even just specifying irc.afternet.org)?
