another tor issue...? (irc...)

[Udo van den Heuvel <udovdh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Suddenly I get:

Looking up irc.freenode.net
* Connecting to chat.freenode.net (85.188.1.26) port 6667...
* Connected. Now logging in...
* *** Looking up your hostname...
* *** Found your hostname, welcome back
* *** Checking ident
* *** No identd (auth) response
* *** Banned:  Tor freenode is hidden-service-only 
(mejokbp2brhw4omd.onion) - see freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml. 
(2008/12/30 15.14)
* Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Banned)

That is when I am *not* connecting via tor, *never* did in past few 
months, don't want to do that now. just want a normal connection like I 
had today.
How can I fix this?

Anyone?


Udo
