Gee, now you start bickering about something pointless.

I can use Mirc with other channels already listed their but poly,s channel wont work period.

You mean that you can use other IRC servers and networks, but not the one of ACS. There's a huge difference between all these 3 things.

If you had bothered to read the thread before chiming in so uselessly you would have read that I have already been made aware that XP has Firewall built in that may be my problem.

Yes, I have read this thread. As for the firewall, you can simply disable it under the settings for your connection.

As I have managed to use the Java room with no problem I no longer need to waste my time with Mirc and no longer need this thread open.

The Java applet IRC client is crap. You'd better use a proper IRC client; like mIRC. I'm sure the issue isn't that great. Most likely your firewall. I can't reproduce your problem, so I can't exactly determine the problem. OTOH, new IRC users hardly bother anyway to tweak things to have it working well.

Mods please close this thanks, or if Rasbelin insists on having somewhere to get plus ones and spellcheck mo poists its your call.

Ack.

I find Chatzilla does the job with less trouble than mIRC... just my 2 cents again.

And the IRC FAQ is pretty obscure as well.

Sorry - I meant Chrisius there. Edited my post above.


Jamski: you're right. MIRC is not a decent piece of software - it's just one of the least user-unfriendly ones. The Help section is a disaster.

its always good to see the level of help that people here will stoop too, there is nothing your friends wont do to put you in the right direction

Guess this thread is a non-issue now. Next time I started my laptop, I tried changing the real name I gave to my actual name instead of MrWhereItsAt. And it worked.

Funny, isn'pt it?

Why is everyone looking at me like that?

[Jamski]

You mean that "stunned silence like a dead fish" look?
