I have never seen that error joining IRC. 127.0.0.1 is Local Host. That is not a valid External IP address. I am doing some searching around to see if anyone else has had that issue as I have never in the years I have ran IRC had that. Will get back to you if I find anything.
What IRC Client is this? MIrc? Is this on a Mac or PC?
MIRC is a Windows IRC client.
http://www.tech-faq.com/127.0.0.1.shtml
Edit: This is straight from FreeNode on the subject.
Why is my client trying to connect to 127.0.0.1 when I try to connect to your network? You've tried to connect to freenode during a massive clonebot (or some other denial-of-service) attack. IRC suffers from the lack of a reputation-based system for filtering out malicious clients. For this and other reasons, we must sometimes shut off new connects or shut down servers for (hopefully brief) periods of time. We apologize for the inconvenience and want you to know that we are slowly working on the problem. We hope you'll consider donating to PDPC, the not-for-profit entity which runs freenode, to help us acquire the resources to advance this and other projects.
Why does my client get "connection rejected" when I try to connect to your network? As in the case above, you've tried to connect to freenode during a large denial attack, and our listening ports are closed. Please try a different server or check back in a few minutes if you can't get in.

Yea, I am using mIRC. I knew what 127.0.01 was, thats why I find it odd to get that message. I never have any issues connecting to EFNET or any other server.

I just added some info from Freenode to my post. Go back and re-read. Hope it helps. I have never had an issue joining Freenode.

That really is strange. I have used 3 clients on the Mac and 4 on the PC and all join up. I tried the IRC in Trillian the other night and in it went.

I'm on the chat channel right now. I'm using Colloquy at the moment. I've only dabbled with IRC over the years, never having found much use for it. I don't know that I've got everything set properly, but then again it's probably close enough for now. I'm just sort of visiting with ChanServ and - to be quite honest - he's not the chatty type. -_^ Bots, you know. Might as well be Vulcans or 'Droids.
Anyway I'll be there for a few more minutes probably. I'll check it occasionally over the coming days.

Anyone have any ideas how I can resolve this issue to join the IRC channel? Every time I try to join, I get the same message.
"Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Bad user info)"
I don't think my issue is what Dtravis posted, since I've NEVER been able to join this network (freenode). I NEVER have any issues with any other server.

Your reply triggered an email, and I just tried connecting to the IRC channel. I still get the same connection message.
Anyone have any ideas?
