Correction....

I forgot to adjust my DNS and CNAMES for IRC.

The address for you IRC/Mirc users is

online.checksix.net

port 6667

If you want to download MIRC (rather than use the web/java interface) then go here...

I've been impressed at the turnout...I stuck around for an hour or so...one moment we'd have 3 guys, next, 10, then it would die down, then pick up again.

Swoop had a good idea, I've made him a moderator and hope others get to go in, hang out, and check it out.  I suspect it'll get more usage during working hours, when you can log on and fly!

How do you register on this thing?  I'm looking, but I'm just a guest.

I can't do an irc client... behind firewall at work.

Just log in with the name you want and some password. Then choose a nick and room to enter. Just tested that and it worked.

Heh.. I was assuming that wouldn't work unless I had "registered" first.

Duh.

Thanks.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Glad you found your way there.  

I set the server up so people didn't have to register, trying to keep it simple.

Also, the IRC.CHECKSIX.NET address works, had to adjust my DNS servers..sorry about that hassle.

If you log on and you see that you are still Guestxx, you can change your nick by typing "/nick [name-you-want]"...the server acknowledges IRC commands.

Dont know which way I prefer it...via the web/java or through a IRC Client like mIRC.  Web does seem to be more fun tho.

Feel free to visit, hangout and if you got ideas or suggestions, let me know.

Welp, it worked for a bit here at work, then I got...

Internet connection having trouble.  Attempting to clear it up. Please wait

 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)  

It was fun for the 10 minutes I was able to be on!     (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  Kudos for getting it up and running!

Aw, well trying pining online.checksix.net, we've had a lot of folks in there in and out, including HiTech.  Amazing how many of us are *supposed* to be working too! hehe

Pings just fine.  My bets are on the over-aggressive proxy server here.  Working at a school district is no fun.  Almost every gaming site is blocked so the kids can't get there.  They just don't know about this one, so they haven't blocked it yet!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)  The proxy is probably blocking the port traffic for the chat program.  Either that or it's just because the connection here SUCKS!  We share our connection to the Net with another school district, and this is AFTER the pipe runs through a small university.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

I was in there for about 10 minutes earlier today.  You can change "Guest" to anything you want.  You don't even need to put any password at all.  Just change to what you want and sign in.

Never used LeafChat, but you can also try online.checksix.net if you want...

I've used Mirc (just downloaded the newer version) and that worked fine.

But yes, settings seem fine
