Server: powertech.no.eu.dal.net (or any DALnet server)
Port: 6666
Chan: #ucn-chat

Get mIRC or Trillian to connect to the chat.

I hope at least exca joins me again, if he reads that...

[PJay]

I can't work with mIRC ! Please help me !

[huhn_m]

My IRC Client (the one that came with <{GNULINUX}>) always tells me that it has a socket error
or that the server is full. I simply can't use the chat though I would like to.

[Killer83Z]

Well, do you use a random DALnet server? Try another...everything works fine for me. Study the documents for mIRC, PJ! There are manuals on the site.

astro.ga.us.dal.net / Port 6661
dragons.ga.us.dal.net / Port 6661
netropolis-r.uk.eu.dal.net / Port 6666

oops when i use the MIRC in the afternoon nobody is online

[CrimsonCasio]

ok, i got trillian, now how do i get to the chat room? I've never done this before

[betoe]

I made it right now but with mIRC, but i think that its too similar.

First I choose a "IRC network" in the options menu, i wrote my nickname, etc... Then i choose the "connect" option, if it appear "conection no available" or something similar, then i change the "IRC network".

Once connected, it is going to you to request the name of the channel

[Exca]

K?lllerz, where are you

I'm idling there now.

[Killer83Z]

Are you sure you got the right channel? I have registred #ucn-chat at DALnet, so if you are op, you're in the wrong place...

[Exca]

Hih, I went to irc.dalnet.org which is a efnet server

Hmm, can't connect to Dalnet, odd...

[Killer83Z]

I chose it because it's a large network and all clients have some servers listed by default.

I think trillian's ident server doesn't work and has prohibited me from connecting before, but now it seems they does not longer require for you to run ident.

One more time: it was a random selection. I don't see what's worse about DALnet compared to other irc servers.

[betoe]

Always when i go to the #ucn-chat channel nobody is online...

[CrimsonCasio]

me and killer talked for a good 1~2 hours yesterday.

[betoe]

oops, i install the mIRC barely yesterday, then almost nobody uses this chat... I got to think that it was committing a connection error or something similar.

[Overlord]

i can't connect to DAL ?! (i'm using trillian 1.0c and i have no problem with other irc servers)

[Killer83Z]

Try another server, an american one or whatever, I always found a working one.

If problems persist, I'll maybe change over to EFnet...

[ross8653]

HAHAHA wow i saw this comming a mile away, this is why irc is great for distro groups cause no one can put up with it

dalnet's... ok i guess they allow chan registering but dalnet's a ghost town since they said you cant file swap on it anymore (copywritted materials)

and cant work mirc? it's not that dificult just check the options and choose dalnet network and hit connect, if your having probs turn off your firewall and if your behind a router ident wont work sometimes so port foreward 113 to your computer

and i'll be back at college in a week to idle there/op/helpout 24/7
i'll have to meet up with you on there killer so you can tell me the technical stuff you set up

[casiokingdom]

i will not be joining in this chat room thing, it's too much of a hassle.

[PJay]

OK ! But when I use the mIRC nobody is online !

[ross8653]

well when everyone just gives up or goes on for 5 seconds at a time then yea no one is on. but just get on there and idle and eventually we'll get 10+ constantly

[betoe]

Probably PJ is in other channel (if your nickname initiates with an @), thats occur with me

[PJay]

NO
I connect to UCN Chat today and CrimsonCasio was online . But I can't chat with he !

[Overlord]

hum, one day it works one day not ?

[13:55] *** Connecting to port 6667 of server astro.ga.us.dal.net

[13:56] *** Connecting to port 6661 of server astro.ga.us.dal.net
[13:56] *** Connection to astro.ga.us.dal.net failed.

etc.

and also with other DAL servers (sometimes it works but it's not every time)

and i don't want to change server every day

[ross8653]

dont specify a server cause servers go up and down just use
irc.dalnet.com 6666
that will route you to an open server every time

[Overlord]

[betoe]

just try out one's that work well or you can find all the offical http://www.dal.net/servers/index.php3

if you got mirc all you gotta do is file-> options->connect->irc network-> dalnet

[huhn_m]

Tried some servers: This was the result:

[PJay]

hum, one day it works one day not ?

[13:55] *** Connecting to port 6667 of server astro.ga.us.dal.net

[13:56] *** Connecting to port 6661 of server astro.ga.us.dal.net

etc.

and also with other DAL servers (sometimes it works but it's not every time)

and i don't want to change server every day 

Yes !

[Overlord]

i give up... for 3 days (when i go back to Belgium)

[Overlord]

1. i'm not home, it's not my computer
2. i don't have mIRC here
3. i always use trillian (i have mIRC home but i don't use it)
4. i'm not stupid

[Overlord]

kernel.dat.net works (was not in the servers lists) (from dal.net and from trillian)

(but it has first tried "irc.dal.net" and it was the same result : unable to connect)

[betoe]

Thats strange, in my PC I formed several servers with port in 6666, and when a server failed to connect, automatically the program try with other server...

[Overlord]

it's also strange because for DALnet i don't have the "Random server" option in the server list

[ross8653]

alright people the problem is that you are not running identd
options -> connect -> identd -> "enable idented"

and if you cant figure out irc... well put more time into it before you turn here, i mean at least check out the help docs
