		ok, I got mIRC....I am new tro the whole thing...I got it and put in a ick and all that jazz. Then I selected it to connect to a random efnet server in the us....so it goes to connect, says unable to resolve host. so after I try this w/ a few more places, I go to the help. it tells me either the site thing I was tryin to reach was down, or that I have a bad DNS w/ my ISP. I have aohell unfortunatly, j/w if this is the prob. and if so, how do I fix it. If not, then how do I fix it? Thanks guys...I am gettin a XBox modchip soon and need to get GENS Ã.

		A lot of the efnet servers don't actually work...try a few others. Also, if you use a firewall, you'll need to open up port 6667 or 6666 to let mirc work.

		or - you can download trillian: www.trillian.cc...

		trillian will let me do this? hmmm....will have to try that out. and to connect to an efnet server can't I just set it to choose a random one in the US? that's what I am doing and it doesn't work...

		and no, I dont have a firewall setup

		Trillian incorporates a very nifty IRC client, I got rid of mIRC long ago And Trillian does indeed cycle through a group of servers for a given network (be it efnet, undernet, dalnet etc.) until a connection is successful. I think it works great.

		Tindo@heart	Apr 28, 2003
		Well, My version of Mirc, v6.03, cycles through Efnet servers until it finds a connection. AND If I go to Help>About>and click on the Author's nose it gives a cute squeaky sound like a clown's nose! Does Trillian do that!

		Taelon	Apr 28, 2003
		Not by default but you can configure the wazoo out of Trillian And it'll run all kinds of scripts and automated login commands for you too And an XML GUI is a beautiful thing, too...

		Even w/ trillian it wont work....I have tried it w/ like 2-3 servers but to no avail.......How do u set it to try to get into each efnet server? I can only get it to do one at a time.....

		Taelon	Apr 28, 2003
		For me it just does it automatically... See if you missed a setting somewhere in the preferences...

		Pearl Jammzz	Apr 28, 2003
		well, it makes me select a specific server to log on....

		Pearl Jammzz	Apr 28, 2003
		BTW, what version of Trillian do you have?

		Taelon	Apr 29, 2003
		I select a specific server, too, but it starts cycling through the whole group from there if the selected server doesn't connect... Version 0.74 here.

		Trillian even works under linux using crossover plugin by codeweavers and its MUCH faster then in windows!

		Pearl Jammzz	Apr 29, 2003
		mine stays on the same one and tries and tries....I connected to one, but they kicked me out for sum reason....can't remember why, it was right when I got in.

		Pearl Jammzz	Apr 29, 2003
		hmmm ok, I got onto 1 server (finally!) and joined #xbins....now how do I go about searching for the emus and stuff? and then how do I dl them? Just some commands and basic description should suffice

		Curtis	Apr 29, 2003
		It should tell you everyhing you need to know when you conenct to the channel... This topic is starting to sound awfully like something that should not be here...

		Pearl Jammzz	Apr 29, 2003
		Ack, sorry about that......didn't mean to get close to breaking the rules....but ya, I messed w/ it for like 20 min and it told me sum stuff. Thanks for all the help guys, appreciate you all putting up w/ my stupidity.....

		Taelon	Apr 30, 2003
		I hate to sound like an @$$, but since you managed to get into a channel, why didn't you just ask the people in it?

		Curtis	Apr 30, 2003
		You can't talk in #xbins - you need to go to their newbie channel for that.
