Can't connect to usergroup IRC

Whenever I try and connect to irc://usergroup.plus.net:6667 I'm booted with the following
Quote
[10:12 pm] * Connecting to usergroup.plus.net (6667)
-
[10:12 pm] -usergroup.plus.net- *** Looking up your hostname...
-
[10:12 pm] -usergroup.plus.net- *** Checking Ident
-
[10:12 pm] -usergroup.plus.net- *** Found your hostname
-
[10:12 pm] Closing Link: powered.by.avatastic.co.uk (Bad user info)

Can anyone shed some light on this?
Cheers,
A.

DLM manages your line the same way DRM manages your rights.
Look at all the pretty graphs! (now with uptime logging!)

Re: Can't connect to usergroup IRC

Are you trying to connect from a non-PN connection?
Try http://usertools.plus.net/irc/

Re: Can't connect to usergroup IRC

I can connect from the java client.
I'm trying to connect from a PN connection.
I can guess at the problem
its either a) my reverse dns isn't a recognised plusnet one as its set to my own domain or
b) I'm coming from behind a NAT so the IP my client is sending isn't matching the external IP.

or c)
It didn't like that I had a URL in my 'real-name' info.

So did it work without the URL then?

Re: Can't connect to usergroup IRC

@Bob yep, I've rolled back the other changes I made to my client and connecting without the URL  still works.
