this is a message from the last time i had this issue , and will confirm that in fact it is an issue:

Yep. The problem is reverse DNS. What IP address are you are pulling via DHCP? If you reply with your address, I'll ask the local engineers to set up Reverse DNS.

Regards.


and yes ip's change all the time and most are smooth.but they are releasing new ones and if they are not properly recorded and you get one and are an irc user this happens . it has no affect on surfing or email .]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750812 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:52:52 EDT Re: i brought a friend for some help with reverse dns -alabama http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20749584 Tarball : Just checked, I AM able to connect to efnet from an ip with no reverse dns.

I have not seen any irc networks that refuse users without reverse dns. Can you connect to networks like irc.efnet.net and irc.freenode.net? I'm pretty sure they allow clients without an rdns.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20749560 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 16:32:04 EDT Re: i brought a friend for some help with reverse dns -alabama http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20748661 Kornflake : up here in wisconsin things are good i am on irc 24/7 sometimes it resets but i can allways connect]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20748661 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 12:03:11 EDT Re: i brought a friend for some help with reverse dns -alabama http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20748384 zed260 : well if you have a charter residential acount your ip can change any time]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20748384 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 10:29:31 EDT Re: i brought a friend for some help with reverse dns -alabama http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20747796 SthrnWoman : My IP address was changed and did not know charter was suppose to do this..
