hello,

Ever since Friday night i have not been able to connect to an irc channel on xchat or any of my yahoo, aim or msn accounts on gaim. i tried using koepete and ymessenger and they wont connect either. i get "connection: check your connection." gaim just wont connect, i get "disconnect"

on xchat i get this:

erl interface loaded
Python interface loaded
--- Looking up irc.us.freenode.net..
--- Connecting to irc.us.freenode.net (216.165.191.52) port 6667..
--- Connected. Now logging in..
--- *** Looking up your hostname...
--- *** Checking ident
--- *** Found your hostname
--- *** No identd (auth) response
--- Closing Link: (Connection Timed Out)
--- Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).

and nmap shows this:

nmap -p 1-65535 localhost

Starting nmap 3.70 at 2005-06-11 10:55 PDT
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
(The 65530 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT STATE SERVICE
37/tcp open time
111/tcp open rpcbind
631/tcp open ipp
5335/tcp open unknown
6000/tcp open X11

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 5.072 seconds

my firewall is disabled and i dont think iv been hacked. im wondering if my isp is currently messed up and blocking those ports?


let me know...thanks
