Bloodshedder Posted September 24, 2004 You could try using a real IRC client. 0 Share this post Link to post
999cop Posted September 24, 2004 I would have if I were to connect from a home computer, but right now it's not allowed to download Mirc in here on my campus. Besides, if it has a firewall or something, even with mirc, it would still not work, would it? 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted September 24, 2004 then forget it. you would violate the schools AUP in doing so. however if it is anything like my highschool it is filled with holes. they had us ttoaly blocked off the internet by "locking" IE. however if you went into any program and selected open and then "browse internet" you got around it. just wait till you get home. i dont think IRC is than important while at school. also if you get caught you loose computer rights and face other disapline. 0 Share this post Link to post
insertwackynamehere Posted September 24, 2004 Mozilla has an IRC client built into it. Do they have Mozilla installed? 0 Share this post Link to post

S1lent Posted September 24, 2004 Personally, I think mIRC is the only way to get the most out of IRC. I've been using it for a while and I have no complaints. 0 Share this post Link to post
destx Posted September 24, 2004 mIRC is the worst IRC client in existence. 0 Share this post Link to post

leileilol Posted September 25, 2004 As far as I know, Freenode only allows port 6667. Can't remember if doomworld still does debian.org for IRC. You could try Xchat, it's what I use, but it turned (rather gpl violating, TONS of angry flames at their forums about it) shareware, so get 2.0.8 here. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted September 25, 2004 most schools have a security block on the internet. if you sit down and learn about it you can fin the holes, or if you find the admin's password. we found our admin's password because the fucker left it out on the table and went to piss. However doing any of those will violate the AUP and a number of school rules. including no computer access and suspention, in the case of my school. if IRC for a few minutes is worth that then go ahead. It is also most likly impossible to install an IRC client without getting caught. if you somehow did they could find out who, i am sure you have to log in (on the computer or on paper) we had to do both. I got caught making the personal login background the soviet flag. however they thought it was rather funny and it wasn't aginst the AUP so they didnt care 0 Share this post Link to post
