Pixel Joint Forum: I am the IRC n00b

Message

   Soooo... I'm trying to get my trillian to hook up to pixelation IRC.
If pixelation IRC is down I'm going to feel like a goof. 
But, if it's not.... I can't seem to connect to it because I'm wicked confused. So.. When you make an IRC connection in Trillian it asks for the following: Server Alias via IRC, the address (I'm assuming because the box says irc.trillian.com::6667), Nickname, Username, User Info.
So.... I know what to put in the address box and I'm pretty sure I can fill out Nickname, Username, and Userinfo. But... server alias? I was assuming that was pixelation so I put that in there and irc://virtual.dyc.edu:6667/ by itself in the address box... didn't work. I tried putting the whole irc://virtual.dyc.edu:6667/pixelation and then pixelation in the server alias... didn't work either.
I can't connect. argh. Anyone know wtf to do?

	I dont think Trillian can connect to IRC servers/channels. I could be wrong though. The pixelation IRC is up, and is active, so you should be able to join it. I would suggest using an IRC client that is well know. something like mIRC or Chatzilla if you have firefox. Or you can check out: http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/ Clients/Chat/IRC/ For a simple IRC client.

	*Originally posted by Demon* I dont think Trillian can connect to IRC servers/channels. I could be wrong though. It has an IRC option. Maybe it can only connect to trillian sponsored channels or something. That would sux0rz. But I'm going to check out the IRC client stuffs.

	That's Pixelation's channel, we use #pixeljoint on the slashnet server. Try /server slashnet and once connected /join #pixeljoint.

	for the pixelation one its something like: /server irc.sorcery.net:6667 /join #pixelation but to get into the POOL you'd use Brian's info.
