No problems with Trillian or mIRC. They probably started blocking non-standard IRC clients, all it'll need is an update to vortex so it fakes being some authorized client.

Gamesurge sometimes throws wierd error messages for no apparent reason.

I checked, and Vortex is working fine for me.

Try start menu->run->"ipconfig /renew"

and reconnect.

Well, someone obviously doesn't use a router. :P

I've gotten this message with Trillian as well; I'm guessing it's just the standard server issues.

Ya War. Im NATed behind a custom router that I have setup on a Linux machine.

I have a SOCKS5 proxy running on it which allows gaim to work just fine with gamesurge. I tried using the proxy with Vortex. No luck.

EDIT: Yup. Gamesurge servers are just stoned. The main server still kicked me out but the US one let me in.

;)

actually, I was having similar problems to Nos, and I AM behind a Linksys BEFSR41. Renewing seemed to reset whatever the problem was that wasn't letting me connect to Gamesurge.

I know it's probably a sledgehammer approach but it worked :)
