Problem connecting on 6667, 6668, 6669, 7000

I have just set up 3.2.5 on a new VPS and I am having problems connecting to the above ports.

It seems to connect about 1 time in 4 with the "Unable to connect to server (Connection refused)" other times. When a client does connect the connection is very laggy and soon pings out.

Connecting via the server port (currently 9464) is fine, with no lag at all.

I have no firewall running at present, the hosts assure me they haven't either.

Operating system is Cent OS

Any ideas would be appreciated before I lose the rest of my hair

The issue on 6667 might be due to port-based traffic shaping/firewalls beyond the control of your VPS. You'll need to ask the provider/admin for info on that. As for 6668-7000, check if they're actually listed in your listen blocks...
