Bruce,

What happens when you attempt to connect? What messages do you get etc...?

Cheers,

Jon.

hey jon...

thanks for the reply.. and i fully understand!!!

i've tried everything that i can think of with regards to setting up mIRC,
and getting the firewall to behave.

as far as i can tell, the firewall is setup to pass 113/6667/8001 though to
the mIRC pc.. however, when i try to connect to any server, the mIRC client
still has a status of "not connected"

Hi Bruce,

Sorry, was AFK from keyboard for a while...

Have you tried typing in the status window:

/server irc.freenode.net

And once connected,

/join #python

I don't use the freenode network myself but I think you need to also
register, google for info on freenode. You also need to ensure you can
respond to ident requests, and, in terms of registration, they may have a
"nickserv" equivalent (like DALnet).

I wouldn't have normally responded to your post as it's kind of off-topic,
but I was an IRC administrator and operator for about 4 years on a network
with roughly 8k users. Quite challenging when it's just the seven of you!


I wish you luck, sorry I haven't been of much help.

Jon.

Assuming you're familiar with the basics of IRC.

In mIRC, File->Select Server->Add, enter "Freenode" as description,
enter "irc.freenode.net " as server. Leave the port as 6667, then change
it later if server supports other ports.

Click connect to server.

Cheers,

Jon.
