SeB Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 I have a little problem with mIRC: I cant connect to a server! I did excactly as Xerox wrote in his IRC for dummies but when I am trying to connect to a server it says: connection timed out! I have tried many servers and it doesnt work in any of them! Could this problem be my firewall? If, what ports do I need to open to get IRC to work?
xerox Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 possibly a problem with your firewall, this irc server uses port 6667, so try opening that port in your firewall. if it says times out it could also mean your internet connection has timed out or the server is down. chances are, its your firewall.
SeB Posted July 1, 2003 Author Posted July 1, 2003 thx for the info. I think it is the firewall though. Because I surfed on this forum at the same time as I tried to connect! to open a port is that the same thing as port forwarding? (because if it is, I know how to do ) What does my avatar look like?
Warlord Archon Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Uhh why didn't you post this in the same place as his IRC for dummies thread? I mean isn't that what its for?
xerox Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 no - i dont want questions in there - i think this could be an irc help forum as well =D and your x is the same as mine =)
