irc.dal.net is now requiring all users to use IdentD. If your login-name has a telga character before it ( ~ ), your IdentD did not work. In the server window, you should have it checked (a checkmark next to "Use IdentD?"). Also any listings in your TCP stack, such as your IP-filter that is blocked, you will need to unblock it. I enter in the ip's I use to connect to my irc servers. That way only the irc servers are allowed to get my authentication. If your irc client doesn't support IdentD, look in a list in your TCP stack and see under Services list or similar that port 113 or service label AUTH is listed and activated. Then use your IP to allow only irc servers....I am not familiar with firewalls, perhaps you can program to watch port 113 and ask you to accept or reject access. Make sure you have your login name enterered & your real name entered. Don't forget the channel nick you will be using. Most servers will not accept long nicks or truncate them. Some irc networks won't accept special characters in nicks and/or names. Also the spelling of the irc server you are connecting must be correct. Most servers you can connect to a certain port like 6667. Finally if you have an unsecured tcp-stack such has 23 or 1080 open, the network will kill you offline and refer to a website to secure it. Visit the website on step-by-step instructions to keep your computer secure. :) On Sun, Oct 8, 2000, at 11:22 PM, Martin Randall wrote: > > Hello. > > I've just re-joined the list. > > Although I can connect to whiterose o.k. - I have problems with many other > servers. > > I think some servers may be requiring extra info that i haven't set. > > I'm behind a firewall, but as I said, whiterose works fine. > > any clues or advice ? > > Regards...Martin > -- > > --------------- > > The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that > the first one was useless. > -- Chamfort > > > ___________________________________________________________________ > AmIRC Mailing List - http://www.vapor.com/amirc/ > AmIRC FAQ......: http://faq.vapor.com/amirc/ > Listserver Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=HELP > Unsubscribe....: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE > > ___________________________________________________________________ AmIRC Mailing List - http://www.vapor.com/amirc/ AmIRC FAQ......: http://faq.vapor.com/amirc/ Listserver Help: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=HELP Unsubscribe....: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=UNSUBSCRIBE
