hi jon
i can sortof connect
however, to join irc.freenode.net, it states i have to register...
the docs that i've seen say i have to :
/msg nickserv register your-password
if my nickname is tom, do i do
/msg tom register foo (if foo is the passwd i want)
-or-
/msg tom register foo
or is there something else i need to do...
thanks

Bruce,
What happens when you attempt to connect? What messages do you get etc...?
Cheers,
Jon.

hey jon...
thanks for the reply.. and i fully understand!!!
i've tried everything that i can think of with regards to setting up mIRC,
and getting the firewall to behave.
as far as i can tell, the firewall is setup to pass 113/6667/8001 though to
the mIRC pc.. however, when i try to connect to any server, the mIRC client
still has a status of not connected

Hi Bruce,
Sorry, was AFK from keyboard for a while...
Have you tried typing in the status window:
/server irc.freenode.net
And once connected,
/join #python
I don't use the freenode network myself but I think you need to also
register, google for info on freenode. You also need to ensure you can
respond to ident requests, and, in terms of registration, they may have a
nickserv equivalent (like DALnet).
I wouldn't have normally responded to your post as it's kind of off-topic,
but I was an IRC administrator and operator for about 4 years on a network
with roughly 8k users. Quite challenging when it's just the seven of you!
I wish you luck, sorry I haven't been of much help.
Jon.

any pointers. the mIRC docs didn't get me very far.

Assuming you're familiar with the basics of IRC.
In mIRC, File-Select Server-Add, enter Freenode as description,
enter irc.freenode.net as server. Leave the port as 6667, then change
it later if server supports other ports.
Click connect to server.
Cheers,
Jon.
