I'm trying to connect to irc.rizon.net from an Ubuntu laptop. I've never done IRC from a Linux machine before, but I didn't think it would be any different than normal. I don't have any firewalls on (that I'm aware of), and I think I've got the ident process running like I'm supposed to. But whenever I try to connect to any of the servers I've tried, I get the following message:
Looking up irc.rizon.net

That process just repeats until I close Xchat.
Any Ideas?
