Looks like (to me, anyway) that it may be a routing issue with your provider, or with their uplink (possibly further upstream between you and your intended destination).

Have you done a tracert to the irc network's roundrobin address and diagnosed it from there?

I'm w/ slingshot, but at the end of the day we both use the same backbone link (in the waikato, if i remember rightly)... anywho, i'm on the network now (and rather bewildered, to say the least). I'd personally ring Xtra and have them check their routing, or their uplink providers - see if there's any reported faults at the moment (you pay them for connectivity, so you should at least expect the ability to connect to something that's there)

after conferring with staff at the network concerned, it's become a network-specific issue with your connection, Sara|. As such, network specific issues lie with the network and/or your ISP to resolve, and not here.
