One of my other forums has a chat room. So...wth, it's an IRC chat, i'll load up my 8310 curve and voila.

Well, the server is:
irc.slashnet.org
vortex.slashnet.org or
moo.slashnet.org

the room is #lxforums

I have tried setting my nickname, the server, etc...
I get a hung connection.
Any settings need to be altered in options?
I've tried a few, but now I'm lost.

Anyone?

Do you have a Blackberry data plan?

[PaCharger]

yes I do

[PaCharger]

i've now tried wlirc, jmIrc and Virca - i know it has to be something simple....anyone have any ideas on settings?

Anyone get this working?

Go to Options->Advanced Options->TCP and type "proxy" (without quotes) where it says APN. Leave username and password blank. Try that and see if that fixes your problem.

Same results, darn it! Thanks for the suggestion though

I've tried via socket and http...same result.
Looks like it connects, because after 30-45 secs it says "disconnected from server"

Alright, I've officially given up. After 426 different tries with 4 different irc apps, i'm done. Sad, but done......grrrrrrrr

[ScottMB4]

Go back to the APN settings and type "public" (without quotes) instead of proxy. I doubt it will work but it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

I've also not been able to connect to any bb irc apps including WLirc, Virca, Jmirc, and pinstack irc...

I get the same error message with all 4 products...

"Unable to connect - open tunnel failure"

Since I've posted about this on numerous bbf threads, done all the searching I could, even googling, who can I contact, or where can I go to get this figured out. I'm willing to spend money to have the problem resloved, irc is that important!

Anyone?

[Leameana]

there was a forum post on this forum for that gave a direct link to the sourceforge page that had the alx and cod files for jmirc. i can't for the life of me find that forum post now. anyone know what that page might be?

[PaCharger]

wow...was shocked to see this post back up top. Now you have me searching/trying again Leameana. I'll do some searches for sourceforge and jmirc in the same post....who knows...

[yappy]

/bump.. i cant get it to work either

[druha]

I've been able to get jmIrc to work, though I don't use it much. Are you using the default port?

[djz87]

Im in the same boat. Ive tried countless times on several different apps. The error i get is, "Invalid tunnel name." Really disappointing.

[PaCharger]

Still struggling here....any jmIrc folks that can help???

[PaCharger]

okay, i think I'm close, but I still get a password error for the server?
