Seems to be working fine now, thanks.

I tried out IRC about a year ago and didn't really understand it, so I stopped. Anyway, I'm trying again and I'm finding it easier than the last time, I have one problem though. I tried to get Konoha Sports Festival, but apparently my DCC settings were not tuned to what is needed for download. Could someone tell me what I need to do to it?
You'll need to make sure a couple things are in place. I'm going to assume you're behind a router, and know how to forward ports. If you're directly connected, just make sure you don't have firewall issues. Also assuming you're using mirc.
Open up tools->options.
Under "Connect" pick "Options", and click the "Advanced" button. Enter a port range over 1024. I'd recommend keeping the range fairly narrow. I use 2048-2054. Make sure that "DCC" is checked. Forward the port range you chose in your router (if applicable).
If you're connected to an irc server already, make sure that under "Connect" -> "Local Info" you see your external ip address listed and correct.
Pick "DCC" next. Under "On Send request", make sure to pick "Auto-get file".
Pick "DCC" -> "Folders" and adjust the download folders however you please.
Pick "DCC" -> "Ignore". Make sure you're not on method "Accept only", or if you are that your "File type" list includes the file extensions you want to get. I generally leave this disabled.
Pick "DCC" -> "Server". Make sure it's enabled. Default port if 59, and it's generally good to leave it there if possible, but you can change it if you have to. Forward that port, too, if applicable. Make sure to listen for at least "Send" to get files. "Chat" and "Fserve" are useful, too.
Once you've done all that and got your ports forwarded as necessary or firewall otherwise opened up, you should be good to go.
Oops! More problems for me! *gnash teeth* At my school I installed mIRC and am trying to connect, but it just can't seem to do it.
* Connecting to irc.gotwoot.net (6999)
-
* Unable to connect to server (Connection attempt timed out)
I never get past this. It just keeps on retrying. My school might be blocking it.. is there a way to stop this?
Your School is blocking that port one way around it is www.ircatwork.com.Originally Posted by Sasori
image fail!
beware getting on at school. my school will suspend or expell in extreme cases for bypassing the network. i personally use my phone at school for irc . i am posting from my phone right now actually.
the ircd listens on 6667 and 7000 for regular connections, 6668 and 6697 for ssl connections.
Try connecting on 6667. If that doesn't work, try connecting on 7000. If that doesn't work, check out http://www.mirc.co.uk/ssl.html and try to grab openssl and drop the required dll's into mirc's directory. When connecting on ssl, prefix the port number with a "+" ... so you'd say "/server irc.gotwoot.net +6697" instead of "/server irc.gotwoot.net 6667".
My mother (yes, my mother) would kill me if I used my cell for something like that. It's so expensive it's not even worth it. Besides, on what grounds would my school be able to expell or suspend me on? I don't intend to download at school. Just check in. Unless you guys could tell me how to get past the HardDisk lock.
Well, I also go to a tightwad private Catholic school, so they can pretty well do anything they want with the students. And it would be on grounds of trying to undermine the schools security.
About the phone thing, I have a windows mobile smart phone with an unlimited data transfer plan, so I can do it as long as I want for one price. That of course includes any internet related things with my phone which include, but not limited to, Internet browsing, Any chat client, Radio streams, Google maps (which I love), and more.
My advice is to check into any policies your school would have that cover internet usage and make sure what you are doing will not be breaking any rules. If you don't see anything, then I would say go for it and see what they do (To be honest I did use ircatwork one day. They found out by the end of the class period, but because I know the tech guys, instead of reporting me to the office, they just told me not to do it again and blocked the site).
I never thought I'd see the day that I would be banned from IRC. I was "fighting" with Nasphreak29. I thought it was all in good fun. Then I was banned. May I please be unbanned? Or is this kind of like a "I'm banning you for a day or two to teach you a lesson"? Anyway, I suppose I don't need to be unbanned today. Soon would be nice though.
irc-8 is down as it is being moved come to the back server/channel
irc.rizon.net #gotwoot
irc.gotwoot.net #gotwoot
Kitkat makes great signatures!
Yes, I noticed it was down but now I have no time to be on anymore so I cannot come. I feel sad. ETA as to when it will return?
it's back up. Should be up for the remainder of the summer (like, until the end of August), after which there's an uncertainty horizon.
Thank you Complich8. I would suggest I could host it for us, but I know how much you despise winboxes.
I dont remember that...anyway. Its not letting me connect to it, keeps saying connection refused -_-'
Try irc-8.gotwoot.net instead of irc.gotwoot.net
So yeah, my old irc server totally died in a power outage... never came back. I made a new one to replace it and hooked it back into services, but now it's just irc.gotwoot.net. Listens to 6661-6667 and 6669 non-ssl, and 6668 and 6697 ssl. It's officially at irc.gotwoot.net again... so update your autojoins or whatever ...
Jolly good work, Complich. In order to listen to the silence that is #gotwoot, one has to be able to join the channel, after all. Kind of like the old question of does a tree falling in a forest make any sound if there's nobody present to hear it.
the question is not whether there's sound from the tree, the question is whether the tree continues to be...
The tree shall never die!
