    Hi,

    Would any of ye know how to get a connection to an IRC network outside of DCU? (Not Redbrick) Specifically by using Xchat if possible. I know it *can* be done, but I know not how to do it. I usually get:

    SOCKS Server reported error 144,0.
    Proxy traversal failed.

    It might...eh... be helpful for my FYP.

    Never mind, I got her going.
    proxy.dcu.ie
    136.206.1.20
    Socks4 proxy
    Port 1080

    Yesss, that's a good excuse

    Port 6667 outgoing is specifically denied isn't it?
    You should be able to get outbound access from redbrick, via the proxy, to port 6667 externally though, I've done this before

    Alternatively, you could resort to using www.mibbit.com
