AndChat (IRC) not connecting

Hello,
I've been having a problem with AndChat not connecting to IRC.
It will only connect over Wifi, not 3g/edge. I am on T-Mobile and Cyanogenmod latest. More detailed specs are in my sig.
I have tried wiping, reflashing the defanged base and reflashing Cyanogenmod, and reverting my hosts file from AdFree. But I still can't connect.
I have another backup phone that connects to IRC flawlessly with the same simcard, so I know it must be a problem with my phone.
Any ideas on what my problem might be and how I might fix it?
Did the connectivity tester apk I linked you to in the email help?
I downloaded and installed it, but it just sits there trying to connect as well.
I am trying to connect to irc.freenode.org:6667, but I have tried also irc.osx86.hu:6667 and it still does not connect.
It's like just my phone has this problem.
Edit: I tried again this afternoon, I could connect successfully with the tool to irc.freenode.net:6667 and to irc.osx86.hu:6667. But my AndChat still does not connect to either.
This is a pretty crazy problem. It affects more then 1 app with seemingly no cause or pattern. I'm baffled as to what could be causing it :|
Do you think it could be my radio or something?
A while ago I tried an add-on to increase edge and 3g speeds, too, but now it's integrated into CyanogenMod if I remember correctly. So that shouldn't be the cause. Plus, I've wiped and tried new installations of CM since then and still get the problem.
If it was the radio, I think there would be more issues in general. Have you tried different ports on freenode? They use ports 6665, 6666, 6667, 7000(SSL Only), 7070 (SSL Only), 8000, 8001 and 8002 according to their website.
For some reason it magically started working after I got out from work today and tried it. A fellow IRC user (who has also had the same connectivity issues) and I have both had problems but it started working randomly today. Maybe T-Mobile fixed something with the connections? I don't know.
Thank you so much for your help though, it wasn't a problem with your app but you were still very nice and willing to try and fix the problem!

[Q] Wireless Tether Not Working

My wireless tether recently stopped working, and i was wondering if anyone could tell me why. I rooted using designgears SuperRooter, and i flashed Unhelpfuls OC kernel, and i did the ext4 lagfix. When i start wireless tether, the symbol pulsates once then stops, almost like its frozen. It worked before when i had rooted using unleash the beast, so i was wondering if that would have anything to do with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Edit: I was also wondering what was wrong with the "Mobile AP" in the samsung captivate..I havent heard anyone talking about it, and it seems to do the same thing as wireless tether. Is it a scam or something?

Try rebooting your router.
ive done all that. i just went to a few friends houses and it connects fine to all of their wifi one being the same ISP. so something happened to my router or accidentally changed a few settings. other than that i have no clue. the error i used to get is disabled secured with wpa wpa2 psk, and now after messing with a few things it just says disabled.
Used to be a common issue in 2.2 based ROMs, atleast in the ones I tried. Switch to a 2.2.1 based ROM.
When mine does that I usually make the phone forget your router, disable wifi, unplug router, plug it back in and then turn wifi on and find your router. Works for me hope it works for you.
Sent from my Captivate running Continuum 3.5 with SuckerPunch #58.
updates? mine has d same issue, that's y Im connected via static ip now
I figured out how get it working. I download fxr wifi fix and rescue from the market and it actually fixed it lol. Basically the process put you in air plane mode, and removed all the previous remembered wifi connections. It has to do something else because I tried that a million times manually but I'm not complaining. Worked like a charm
I know some people use roms. But I haven't really looked to much into them yet. Any recommendations? I've seen a few on YouTube but some major features were not working. And where do I d/l them?
that solution worked for me. thanks

phiremod v 6.1 & wifi tethering

Anyone had any success with this? I've tried the adhoc-infrastructure switch stuff with no avail. That worked when I was using 1.1 rooted.
I can connect to my wifi network fine. However, the switch between both modes for tethering to my Incredible is not working anymore. I've searched, haven't been able to find much info on this for phiremod.
Related - does v 6.2 address this issue? I read the changelog and saw nothing mentioned, but maybe someone else knows more than I Thanks!
Try use the open source Wifi tether; I am using 3.0 build experimental 14 and it works perfectly with my EPIC and NC. Supports infrastructure wifi also. Worked both with phiremod 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2..

Yeah, that's what I was using.
Not sure if it was the update to 6.2, or the fact that Wireless Tether doesn't like static ip/dns settings... but at any rate, it now works like a charm

[Q] need recommendation on rom, looking for built in USB tether

Hi, there. Basically just spent all of last night slaving away trying to fix my phone only to make everything progressively worse, and all of this morning having someone (thank you, BD619!) help me fix it, all because of me trying out some new roms.
Anyway i'm looking for something with a built-in tether that works off of USB (my laptop's wifi is broken). And having something with working GPS is pretty important for me too. I was on CM10.2 previously and the USB tether worked fine, but i couldn't get the GPS to work right for the life of me. And Viper's rom is the one that essentially sent me into non-stop boot loop mode, so that's out of there as far as what i'm willing to try.
I have tried other variations of CM like PA and slim, but i'd always end up having some kind of issues with the broadband or GPS. Others didn't even plain install. FWIW before today i did not have s-off, but now i do.
Would greatly appreciate any advice here. Please let me know if this is in the wrong section. Thanks
