Damn you for not using Sorcery. Now I need two irc windows open.

Why you don't just open a new server tab in your mIRC?

Re: Official HLP IRC-channel on Trial
A little confused, if I have trillian, and set it all up already. Do I still need to install MIRC?

It says HLP is online but my button won't turn blue and entering the channel does nothing. I used espernet first then changed to dream as I am in PA...

you need to click on that little IRC connection light in trillian and select "join channel"

Thanks for trying, the box appears and when I type the channel in from the post and hit enter nothing happens, the box just closes.

If you've got Firefox, just get the Chatzilla extension.

Re: Official HLP IRC-channel on Trial
Ok I'm new to IRC, having trouble figuring out how to get to the hard light channel... I got xchat, and I'm trying to figure out how to connect to the EsperNet network. What do I type in "Network" area? I went to the esper site and they had their servers listed (i.e. cosmos.esper.net) and I tried typing that it but it didn't work. Also, doesn't it matter which one I join?

Re: Official HLP IRC-channel on Trial
well I got MIRC (Temporarily, as I couldn't see anyone else most of the time with chatzilla).

Now we need MORE people! Seems to always be the same 3-5 people... (including me!)

Don't blame X-mas.. ;)

Umm I should check out Xchat client again in order to provide more proper help, but all in all it shouldn't really matter which EsperNet server you join in. Since I can't remember how the interface on the Xchat was I'll provide you two simple but important commands which should get you started.

When you open Xchat... it most likely opens up an empty server windows which might have a typing area at the bottom of it.
Into that type and enter:

/server cosmos.esper.net

That should connect you to the EsperNet server, or one of them anyway. After some messages of the day etc. stuff type the next command:

/j #hard-light (or /join #hard-light)

And that should take you to the channel.
Habeeb it...

Re: Official HLP IRC-channel on Trial
I've tried to connect to the IRC, but whichever program I use (I tried mIRC, Trillian and ChatZilla), it always refuses my connection.
For example, using ChatZilla I get:

[INFO]   Network view for “cosmos.esper.net” opened.
[INFO]   Attempting to connect to “cosmos.esper.net”. Use /cancel to abort.
[INFO]   Connecting to irc://cosmos.esper.net/ (irc://cosmos.esper.net/)...
[ERROR]   Connection to irc://cosmos.esper.net/ (irc://cosmos.esper.net/) refused. Reconnecting in 15 seconds.

When it reconnects, it disconnects again and so on.
What can I do? :confused:

First you could try out some of the other EsperNet servers there are, if you haven't.

Already tried. Had the same problem with all the servers. :(

Re: Official HLP IRC-channel on Trial
If someone has any other suggestions go ahead, but for now I might even concider the problem being on the ISP end. Firewall for example.

Hmm you could try to connect on to some other most likely working IRC server... Quakenet could be a good one to test. Try connecting on to irc.quakenet.org
Habeeb it...

Re: Official HLP IRC-channel on Trial
.... neither Quakenet works. :nervous:
I don't know what could be the cause of the problem. Surely it isn't the firewall: I have deactivated it.

At this point, my problem doesn't belong anymore to the "News & Announcements" board.
@Mods: would be possible to move this part of the thread to the general off-topic section?
