Hey guys, looks like recently my school has changed a few rules in regards to what ports are open, etc. I used to be able to use the school wifi for irc and uo. Recently I have not been able to connect to either, mirc just says:
[16:04] * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
-
[16:04] * Connect retry #5 irc.wildirc.net (6667) (dns pool)
and razor loads up but the second I put my user name pass into the client it just stays at "Connecting"
Any thoughts? any way to utilize some sorta proxy to either of these issues? at least if I could irc troll it would be better than nothing

Re: School And UO/IRC
Just as an fyi with more info, I was on the IRC (through uosecondage.com) on a school computer this morning. This afternoon when I tried to use the IRC (through uosecondage.com) on my laptop I get this:
[16:08:09] Security error! Make sure you have port 843 open (firewall). If you are the server administrator, read www.lightirc.com/faq.html#security for information. This is most likely a server problem. You tried to connect to flash.wildirc.net:6667

Re: School And UO/IRC
Google "IRC Proxy"
You'll have to find a way to bypass the port or ip firewall :/
Also, maybe, try the Java Client, also linked on our homepage.
