Trillian

[NF]

Just having a bit of hassle setting up Trillian to access IRC, have entered the server (mgo.maxgaming.net) and I think i have set the right port (7778) but can't seem to connect, wondering if any other trillian users could point me in right direction...

This is a work computer using windows firewall, and i've opened up the correct ports...

not 100% if the ident server thingy needs to be configured/switched on..

[esd]

Try mgo3.maxgaming.net

[NF]

will give that a go, thanx again esd.

(is it me or is my avatar a little squished?)

(is it me or is my avatar a little squished?)

No, it's the cream cakes.

[StormRider]

I have it set as mgo2.maxgaming.net works good for me.

[NF]

will try mgo2 as well cos mgo3 still not letting me in, might just be limitations of work computer..

[Kon]

I use irc.maxgaming.net on port 6667.

[NF]

kewl, i'll try that one, thnx kahn

[Futile Resistance]

Or you can be like me... Who also uses Trillian... who gets "disconnected" every 5 minutes from IRC and then have to change my nick cause I'm still "online"

I don't know what this thread is about exactly, but the title says Trillian, so I will share my thoughts on the general subject.


AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! THE HORROR!!!!!!!.

Proud Trillian user (of both pro and basic)..

For those that question the power of trillian:

[NF]

I question the power of Trillian!

Still cant get in IRC...

heres some screenies, shout if you see the mistake..

[NF]

oh I did have my nickserv password message in the perform buffer but I took it out for the screeny

[Inquisitor]

Try irc.maxgaming.net and 6667 or 7778.

They may be blocking the ports at work though.

[NF]

still no luck, must be being blocked somewhere by my work comp (despite disabling the firewall).... seems odd i can connect to ICQ and AIM but not IRC

C'est La Vie

[Inquisitor]

ICQ and AIM sometimes automagically configure themselves to go out alternate ports (such as 80).

IRC is very port specific.

[StormRider]

Just been looking at my settings. In IRC- Preferences for some reson the port is set to 113 and in secon pic ya got there I got mgo2.maxgaming.net not mgo2.maxgaming.net::7778 hope it helps ya
edit oh and in IRC- Preferences / identd the enable identd serer is swich on.

[The Baron]

uh... why do you have two colons?

irc.maxgaming.net:6667

[SSX-Killjoy]

NF, There is a quick test to see if the issue is Trillian or not. Download mIRC or X-Chat and see if you can connect after setting it up. If you can't use one of those, then the problem isn't Trillian. However if you can connect, then problem is a settings issue with Trillian. If so, I will post my screenies of my setup.

[Futile Resistance]

mgo.maxgaming.net
I don't bother with the port.

*whisper*TRILLIAN BLOWS!!!!*whisper*

Trillian blows for IRC, but Basic 3.0 has been perfect for me for everything else.

(Why would you use Trillian for IRC anyway? IRC is not a form of IM in any meaningful way, so... use an IRC client, doofus)

[Kon]

Oh BTW, several of the Trillian people here including myself use the old, better (in my opinion) 0.74i, not 3.1. I got 3.0 and it was just awful and took up about three times the resources.
