Unable to connect to #winehackers

[James Mckenzie]

All:

I have been trying to connect to #winehackers from my Mac using Conversation.  However, this is not working as I am not receiving the welcome screen from irc.freenode.net.

Anyone else experiencing this problem and have a workaround.  I would really like to get onto winehackers to discuss the patch I've been working on.

Hi James,

There's possibly some issue with Freenode, as is not uncommon. Have you 
tried connecting to any particular Freenode server manually? I seem to 
be on "lindbohm.freenode.net", and it's working fine.

Cheers,

Freenode has been having a LOT of issues lately.
