A little help on that IRC thing?

5 replies · 29 views · Started 07 December 2002

Yo guys! How ya doin all?

Well i don't mean to sound too newbie-istic, but a couple of years ago (1 or 2 to be precise, or 3 i dunno!) when all my friends were using mIRC, i was alone in Yahoo messenger, yeah it was a bummer, but i didn't want to learn IRC. and then i thought i was clear and i didn't have to learn it since alot of guys were moving to MSN messenger. but now you guys are asking me to use my head! (i don't like that :P)

OKay i downloaded the ALL About symbian version of mIRC, and the java applet thing. But it's not connecting!! mIRC keeps searching and searching and trying to connect but it ain't working! im in saudi arabia and it's trying all the european places, (there's no saudi in the menu) so im stuck. I'd love a little help, and some basics if i manage to go through the connection part.

Im not hard headed! Im a fast learner actually! (no bragging here) but i used to suck in ping pong and lost in front of everybody, a couple months later, im unbeatable!! Muahahahahhaha!

anywayz, awaiting your replies (i think i over react in too many posts and post alot of waffle related stuff...but that's what makes it fun 😃)

I know i missed the meeting, but it's good for future ones. (sorry i was busy, my aunt came today 😊)

You've got a firewall 😊
You can't connect 😉
use http://chat.blueyonder.co.uk
when connected try /j #allaboutsymbian
this is the only online irc chat that works how it should.
But I'm trying to get my version of it online 😊
Just need a good server :s

I can't belive it, you lot buggered off before I got chance to come back from the pub :evil:

Nevermind, did anything interseting come of the meeting?

Thanx guys! I should have mentioned i have a firewall.
LooK! it's working 😃

Ahh! It was trying to connect (i thought it was gonna work) but now i get this:
Sorry, BYBBS is having trouble connecting to the server. Please try again, or failing that, you might consider trying another server.

well thanx for your help anyways, i'll try to make it work 😊 (somehow)
