    Whenever I get this, I close the browser and reopen and it usually works normally. No idea why it happens though.

    1) The IRC client on the site is flash-based.
    2) Everytime it tries to connect to IRC it uses a generic address (irc.cht4all.org I think) that redirects to a random server linked to the network;
    3) Some of the network servers do not allow connections incoming from flash-based clients, that's when you get this error;

    Two possible solutions:

    1) Get a real IRC client like mIRC (Windows), Textual (OS X) or you can even use an extension for Firefox such as ChatZilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/chatzilla/?src=search

    2) Try reconnecting until the generic address directs you to a server that allows flash-based client and you are in.

    Although I do really recommend a standalone client where you can set a lot of personalized options such as highlights, alerts, aliases, etc.
