Did you get any errors? You're connecting to freenode first, right?
That's the irc network you need to connect to.
RE: [discuss] problem to access the CS IRC channel
Posted by Fang Wang <fa...@citrix.com>.
I suspect the ports got blocked by some firewall set up. I tried to look through any rules regarding the port,
But somehow it's hidden somewhere in the Windows set up. I did not figure out how to change it.
I tried several ports, they did not work.
Thanks for the ssh recommendation. I'll try it. SSH+irssi+screen (or tmux) persistent connection should solve
The problem.
Thanks for all the recommendations!

You can find alternate ports here, maybe one of those would help?
http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml
Alternately, do you have SSH access to any servers that might be able to connect using irssi (http://www.irssi.org/)?
A lot of us use SSH+irssi+screen (or tmux) to keep a persistent connection even when we might be traveling.

I do not have flash.
IS it required to have a ":" or "+" added in front of the nickname to create a ding? I'll try to test it.
Thanks for all the suggestions and links,

Do you have flash installed?
According to the options for webchat.freenode.net, you should be able to get a ding when your nick is mentioned.

Yes, I tried servers in different zones, and several ports.
I believe it's related to my machine set up by IT, somehow it blocked those ports.
We tried to set up a new rule or something, after still failed after several attempts.

RE: [discuss] problem to access the CS IRC channel
Posted by Fang Wang <fa...@citrix.com>.
If we can use the local client IRC to talk to the server, then it will ring when there's msg for me. (at least
For some client), but seems the webchat won't be able to ring.
But webchat gets us the connection at least :)

Thanks Animesh,
Yes, the webchat works for me. But seems the web chat does not ring me if I get a msg.
Does it ring you through the webchat?

Thanks Chip,
Most likely the problem is with our local company firewall. It seems to block the irc ports.

Did you get any errors? You're connecting to freenode first, right?
That's the irc network you need to connect to.
RE: [discuss] problem to access the CS IRC channel
Posted by Fang Wang <fa...@citrix.com>.
Yes, I tried to connect to irc.freenode.net.
But it keeps on failing because it could not connect to the server.
I tried to use webchat client, then I could connect with my user name Fangw.
