anybody ever use ksirc?

[distortion]

i need (big shock) a little help. when ever i try to connect it says "bad file descripter". anyone know how to fix this. i've already read the whole help file on ksirc, and checked all the preferences for something that might have anything to do with that. so if anyone can offer up any suggestions, i'd appreciate it.

or is there a reason youre using that other program?

if you don't have a problem switching clients, i recommend kvirc; it has a nicer interface.

I get the error too, it's not ksirc; it's dal.net; i can't connecto to any of the servers with kvirc either.

ksirc works fine for the other non-dalnet servers i have tried....

i like ksirc's interface better.

anyhoo, i'm not trying to connect to dalnet servers, though, so can you think of any other reasons why i would be getting this error?
