For the past three nights, I've been unable to connect to Furnet on IRC, even after trying 4 of their servers. The first two nights I was able to get back on after waiting about 10-15 minutes, but now I can't seem to get back on at all.

The error on particular is as follows:

-alicorn.furnet.org- *** Looking up your hostname...
-
-alicorn.furnet.org- *** Checking ident...
-
-alicorn.furnet.org- *** Couldn't resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead
-
-alicorn.furnet.org- *** No ident response; username prefixed with ~

The only thing I could turn up in terms of a search was an FAQ for another server (DALnet, or something to that effect) that claims this is not an error and that it's simply the server processing information. However, I never received those last two messages prior to these past three nights, and it keeps hanging on that last message (I never connect, mIRC doesn't actually freeze). I've tried a server that's not tied to Furnet at all and had no problems connecting, so obviously it's something on their end. Still, even after talking to a few people I have no idea what to do. Changing my nick, trying different Furnet servers, nothing helps. Nobody I talked to has been having problems connecting to it.

So, have I been hacked, is Furnet really messed up right now, or what? This is driving me crazy, and I'm desparate for a solution.
