Right -- I had to check the date on your message, to see if it was 1994.

I didn't know that it was still there. Might drop by one of these days

Yeah, traffic is scarce. I was on it for the last 14 hrs. Nary a
peep.

Sky had figured another one to use...irc.networkjunkies.com port 6667
She and I were chatting on Wednesday and I was there the all on my
lonesome last night. We had tried another before that. I am getting
pretty good at setting up the autoconnect after doing it several times
in the last week.

Let me know what you settle on and I'll try to set up Chrome's IRC
extension to get to it. I've been missing the Thursday night chat
sessions from back in the day when "everyone" dropped in to say hi and
catch up. Please pass on a big hello to Sky.

I don't know software you are using, and I am not all that tech savvy
myself, but if you go to the RFC site and get the information there you
can set it up. just substitute the irc.networkjunkies in place of the
irc server listed there.

Anna, Sky and I are usually there on Friday nights. Sky was the one who
contacted me about the networkjunkies, so I will leave it to her whether
to stay there or to go back to the old one, and we can post the outcome
here.

She gave me: xeon.edigic.com

Can't very well connect if we're all on different networks. I was at
the old "hostedfor" server site, which is also part of
networkjunkies. When you all get it together, let me know.

I just tried the old hostfor.us and didn't have any luck. I went to
networkjunkies. Your nik is on there but you seem not to be.
I was just testing it, but will back on there in about an hour.

How do you get on there? I put in irc.networkjunkies.com but it keeps
trying to connect and doesn't.

I need directions. I do have Chatzilla but no idea how to use it.

Open up Chatzilla.Click on IRC then on Join Channel. Another window
will open asking for network and channel. For network type in
irc.networkjunkies.com and for channel enter #rec.food.cooking
If that works and you get in you can then then click on IRC and then on
Open this channel at start up.

I did this and it tried to put me into something called 'icq' It really
messed up my computer. I had a real job getting rid of all the add ons

ChatZilla is "A clean, easy to use and highly extensible Internet
Relay Chat (IRC) client" - just one add-on, nothing more. Maybe you
downloaded it from a spammy site. Try this one.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...don/chatzilla/

PS: Dave, those were simple and clear instructions. Much easier than
using command lines. Thanks. Now we need to settle on a chat
channel. I have networkjunkies set to open automatically now, so I'm
fine with that one.

Thanks I might try it once I get over all the cleanup I had to do.

What, if any is the connection between irc and icq? Also I somehow got onto
Mirc. Is that the same as irc?

ICQ is the name of an instant-messenger, similar to AIM.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICQ

Chatzilla and Mirc are clients that are used to access IRC, but they
are different products.... just like both Fiat and Honda are cars and
can be used to drive to the store, but they are different products.

Ahh so had I persevered with Mirc I would have got there in the end?

Sheesh the stuff that came in with it ... I think I will try it again,
but on one of the old computers then it won't matter so much if it messes
up. Which one are you one then?

I'm using Chatzilla. It's free. Mirc can be either free or pay. I
don't want to deal with nag screens and I don't have any desires to do
anything fancy (no admin, nuttin' honey), so I don't have any use for
the full version. I've been satisfied with CZ. The only thing Mirc
does that CZ doesn't is give users a heads up that you're on your way
into the chat room. So what. You get there when you get there.

Did you use Chazilla or some other irc client? It worked exactly the
way he said it would with CZ. There are two boxes: 1. for network 2:
for channel. I even entered rec.food.cooking without the hashtag and
found the correct chat room.

Too much effort would be my opinion of using that stupid Mibbit
thingie. Ugh. <hork, spit>

Dave said upthread:
Network = irc.networkjunkies.com
Channel = rec.food.cooking

That's all you need to get going with Chatzilla.

/server irc.hostedfor.us

Enter the above command in the text box at the bottom. It should work
in any irc client. After you get on that server, in the same box,
enter:

/join #rec.food.cooking

This command will take you to the chat room, rec.food.cooking


IRC is a text command line protocol. There's a lot of gui based clients,
but they all fall back on the same command line interface (CLI)
commands. Any irc command begins with a forward slash, then a space,
then the objective.

/server servername

.....will take you to any server you enter.

/join #channelname

.....will take you to any room you desire, after you've logged into a
server. Always include the # character before the channelname.

Despite all the whistles and bells in gui clients, it all comes back
to a few basic commands. /server and /join should get you to the
room (channel).

O, since it appears you don't use firefox/thunderbird, I'd recommend
xchat. It's more current than mirc, which is long dead. Plus, xchat
is more inline with the original irc protocol. It's like newsgroups.
Old, but simple, efficient, and bulletproof.

characters.
