Talk:MediaWiki on IRC

=Help me connect to IRC!= Hey guys, I'm trying to connect to #mediawiki with KVIrc 3.4.0. I've installed it and try to connect with "/server irc://irc.freenode.net/mediawiki" but it does not work. All help appreciated. Smaug 20:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Try /server irc.freenode.net and then /join #mediawiki. -- Sayuri 20:52, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * /server irc.freenode.net didn't work. It says,
 * [18:38:13] Attempting connection to irc.freenode.net (Standalone Servers) on port 6667
 * [18:38:13] Looking up the server hostname (irc.freenode.net)...

 * [18:38:13] Failed to start the connection: Access denied
 * [18:38:13] Connection attempt failed [irc.freenode.net]</tt>
 * Could there be some sort of problem with my firewall or something to prevent IRC from working? <font color="#006500">Smaug 22:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * SOLVED! It turned out to be my firewall (or some setting I had to log in as computer admin to be warned of) after all, and now it seems to be working.  Thank you for your response anyway. <font color="#006500">Smaug  01:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
