Vox Chat

[nbarclay]

The chat with Vox is going on right now (as of this writing), for anyone who's interested in joining in. Connect to the Apolyton IRC server and go to the #voxcontroli area.

Nathan, what server is that? irc.apolyton.net ?

DeepO

[DeepO]

damn... found it, I guess, but I can't get in

Are you uing Mirc? What does it say? And the server is just "apolyton.net".

[DeepO]

*** Connecting to apolyton.net (6667)
*** [10054] Connection reset by peer
*** Disconnected

Is what I get, and yes, I was using mirc

Look through the settings and enable "identd", this may help (I hope).

[DeepO]

identd is already on...

[Harovan]

Hmmm. Apparently Apolyton cuts the connection soon after it's established. AFAIK, it makes some kind of "sanity check" soon after connection and checks your computer for identd, proxies and socks (port 1080). Perhaps this fails. I don't know.

Have you tried the java client yet?

[DeepO]

I'm trying... I d/l the thing, installed it, but now I get a msg saying something about an SecurityException, that the class ident's signer information doesn't match the rest of the package.

Trying IE now

DeepO

[Harovan]

Darn... I don't know what else to try.

[DeepO]

my neither...

I just got another msg from mirc (seems to work on a time out of sorts:

Erhm.. sorry about the control chars, you know what I mean

DeepO

[Harovan]

Are you sure you filled all forms in the setup? especially where it asks for your email? just type "deepo" there. This field can't be left empty. Look for it.

[DeepO]

Will check... might be possible that I left that one open deliberately (it's an old mirc installation, I use it more...)

DeepO

[DeepO]

Nope, also present, pointing at a spam address of mine (which I totally forgot about )
