IRC Connection problems

[paaco]

I always have problems connecting to irc.eqemulator.net. Sometimes I just let it sit there and try over and over until it works, which can take 70-80 times some days. Today I decided to ping irc.eqemulator.net and this is what it looks like:

Pinging irc.eqemulator.net [64.251.21.39] with 32 bytes of

Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 64.251.21.39:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),

Any idea what would cause me to have 100% packet loss at times? This is the only thing I have any problem connecting to.

Also just in case my router was the problem. I forwarded port 6667 and 113 for Ident with no change. Not sure what else would cause it.
