Re: IRC problems

Hi all,

I am behind a firewall, and I usually connect to IRC using the web
interface, however on my computer for some undetermined reason (I'm using
Windows XP) I have tremendous lag receiving information from IRC.
Surprisingly, the information I type seems to go out "in real time" but I
get feedback only minutes later. On of my collegues also connecter to the
IRC web interface but using linux has no lag... so I'd say even the web IRC
can be dodgy, in my case it is.

Regards,

BN
