Maybe you have a trojan in your computer.

Also if you have more than person connecting from the same IP, I think you have to register that IP and give them how many people will be connecting. Otherwise they don't know that you're not a bot army or something.

looks like Freenode unbanned our IP since i was able to join #md this morning. whether or not we will be banned again when snemmy joins later today remains open...
