Actually I do that during the week, so if it doesn't work then, that's probably why.

So everyone, just get on irc.lionsanctuary.net, and join #5mv! We`re there!

It's working again!
So come to my server then!
Some of the lionsancuary chat won't be fully logged because there was no IrcAssistant!
The problem was, the server was working fine, and so was the IP re-router, but my router at home had the wrong LAN IP address for the port forwarding.
This happened because my Internet wanked out mysteriously and I had to restart all my computers and the router etc. and all the settings changed, it is a dynamic IP after all. THe IP Router service automatically updated, but the port forwarding did not.
This means, you couldn't get to my server as you were trying to connect to a different computer on my home network.
I'll try not to have this happen again, I'll configure it for a static IP.
