brentaal Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Make sure the data you're using to connect is: Address: irc.neowin.net Port: 6667 Password: <your_forum_password> Nickname: <forum_nickname> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazhar Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 ^ Using above but doesn't connect. Should I change the client? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentaal Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I wouldn't change the client yet. Check if your firewall is set up properly (did you add mIRC to the exception list?) Try this web client to see if you can connect http://mibbit.com/chat/ Click the "Server" link to add a custom address (irc.neowin.net:6667), then "Auth" so you can enter your password.

Mazhar Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yes that worked brentaal! Thanks. Looks like I have to use the web client rather than mirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-uk Veteran Posted June 23, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2009 you could always try using a diffrent local client such as X-Chat 2, that works for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
