RonemX Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I apologize if there is another thread concerning this, but I tried a forum search and could not narrow anything down. I have never used IRC before and figured I'd start with the Java applet provided by this site. Unfortunately, no matter what server I choose, it just keeps telling me it's unable to connect. I have my computer hooked up at college in a dorm. Is there something I am supposed to set up first? Ports to open, firewalls to pass? Or am I just completely doing it all wrong? Thanks for any help.

Secret Agent Man Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Some colleges block the popular IRC ports (6666 and 6667) for security reasons. I ran into the same problem when I first moved in. Try connecting to fl.enterthegame.com:6668 (it's what I use to connect while at college).

RonemX Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 .net = not correct server. Thanks for your input though. I was, in fact, doing it all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
