What To Do When IRC Won't Log You In

I attempted to access the IRC channel today, and for the first time I just couldn't connect. I gave it several different attempts, and all of them were fruitless. If you wouldn't mind helping me out, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Alrighty, when IRC won't log you into the server, there could be several reasons. I need to know the error message to make sure, but here are some possible reasons:

1) Your IRC client has passed its trial period (very few really matter with this, but it's a possibility)

2) The server is full.

3) Your settings may have changed.

4) You don't have it on auto-connect (in which case you have to click the connect button)

5) You did not put the port to 6667 (happens a lot)

These are only a very few problems. If you post the error message and your IRC client, I should be able to decipher it better for you. If you'd rather try yourself, you can check out the Help section of your client. Get back to me either way.
