Saru Posted February 19, 2002 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2002 For those of you like ScaryD who are using an Apple Mac, here's a Mac IRC Client that you can download and use to connect. http://www.ircle.com/download.shtml I'm not sure how the program works, since I don't have a Mac to run it on. However the server you want to connect to is : chatnet.dnsalias.com and the port is 6667 Once you do connect, the room you want is #unexplained Good luck in getting connected with it. If you get stuck, that web site or the program itself should have some online help to get you back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaryD Posted February 19, 2002 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Thanks SaRuMaN! That's fab. Only thing is...We need to know what network the server is on, before it will connect? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted February 19, 2002 Author #3 Share Posted February 19, 2002 ScaryD, The server is VIP Net - although it's not part of any of the major IRC networks. There should be an option somewhere for entering an actual server address, or a command that can do it from a prompt. I looked up some help for the program your using, and I came across this page, which should help you get the server set up. On the part that says "Scroll through the list and choose the server that is geographically nearest to you on the network you require", click on the "add" button thats shown in the picture on the side of the help page, and that should allow you to enter the server address for VIP Net which is : chatnet.dnsalias.com port 6667. and then connect to that and join #unexplained and your there. The help page is at : http://www.ex.ac.uk/~jastaple/irc/irclehelp/config.html and there are some more help pages for doing other things here : http://www.ex.ac.uk/~jastaple/irc/irclehelp/index.html If you have any further difficulties, let me know and I'll see what else I can find that may be of help.

ScaryD Posted February 19, 2002 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2002 :s07 :s2 SaRuMaN, All goes well...UNTIL I scroll down the networks. There's no option for VIP Net, and I can only add the server details - I can't see anywhere to enter a new network. :s8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted February 19, 2002 Author #5 Share Posted February 19, 2002 ScaryD, You've found it ! You don't need to add a new network because VIP net doesn't exist on any. It's the server details you need to add. All you need to do is add the server chatnet.dnsalias.com port 6667 and bobs your uncle. You can completely ignore anything about IRC networks because VIP net won't be listed in any of them, thats why you need to enter the server address yourself.

Saru Posted February 19, 2002 Author #7 Share Posted February 19, 2002 ScaryD, Here's another Mac IRC Client you could try : http://www.snak.com/SnakDownload.html With any luck this one will be easier to set up. I've seen some screen shots of it and looks quite easy to use. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
