What are you doing wrong? Depends largely on the value of 'No luck'... bash-2.05a$ host -t ANY irc.perl.org irc.perl.org has address 216.232.28.210 irc.perl.org has address 193.201.200.130 irc.perl.org has address 195.82.114.48 (which, for the interested, are binky, grouch, and london, in that order) - I can connect to all of those by telnet on port 6667, the standard IRC port. But if just connecting to grou.ch works for you, go with it. +Pete -- Much may be made of a Scotchman, if he be caught young. -- Samuel Johnson
