Irc on college network

D · 2005-12-02 19:48:40

Is it possible to use Irc in Dcu or will the proxy not allow it? If it is possible do you use "http://proxy.dcu.ie/proxy.pac" as the hostname? Basicially if it is possible how?

Sorry complete novice with irc, the proxies do I put them in the firewall tab or the local host tab?

Ok I'm going to have to do this in small steps.

Lets say that my user name and password is smithj2, 12345 respectively.
So i fill in the option as the picture?

Is there another Socks option...

sionnach got me sorted back in the day when I barely knew what IRC was...

Is this your laptop you're using or something?

Try proxy1.dcu.ie
