Is the chat server down or is it a problem at my end? i can't seem to connect at all and yes, i have checked my settings.

 

i can also log in to other chatrooms

it`s down.

well at least its not a problem on my end

its fine for me. although blackcoblat.net's website is down.

Is it down again or still down? I cant connect it keeps timing out. First i thought it was my connection but everything else works fine

mike, try the server blackcobalt.no-ip.org

its working.

Hm that takes me to a blank white screen that says simply "rawr ffs!"

I've been on IRC chat once, and then my Java applet came up with some error. I've tried Mirc, X chat which both come up with errors. I sorted out my Java console, and now times out everytime I try to log in...like mike90. I've tried blackcobalt but I get a load of ads, and I can't see where you get into the SFN# chat room ? I'm pretty new to using domains et.c so probably me just being stupid.

 

The one time I did get on there, I really enjoyed it...so getting a bit frustrated.

yeah the chat room has always been my favorite thing about sfn. And with being gone for a bit i thought it would be cool to pop on and catch up with some people. So this whole thing is kind of a bummer =(

D'oh!

ok for Xchat when you open the program it will give you a list of servers. click on any one of them and then click edit.

at the top bit click add

type "blackcobalt.no-ip.org/6667" without the quotes

 

for channels to join type "#SFN" again without the quotes. you can ignore th rest of the options.

 

try that.

Anybody know why the IRC Java times out ? With X chat, and MIRC I get errors when I try to install them (should of said this earlier) so I'm restricted to using IRC.

 

EDIT: I've got Windows ME Ops (yes I know it's rubbish) and I think this is why I'm getting problems.

nah its just the java thats sucky it never works for me. what error do you get trying to install Xchat?

I'll let you know tonight, I'm using another a pc at the moment.

Hm says url not found. Do i need to install anything?

Right, I get this when I try to install...

 

Unable to execute file:

 

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\is-IAVTQ.tmp\update-modules.bat

 

CreateProcess failed;code 31.

A device attached to the sytem is not functioning

 

Then a DLL error when I try to run X-chat...

 

Xchat has caused an error in

LIBPANGO-1.0-0.DLL

Xchat will now close

 

Any ideas ?

search google for the .dll and stick it in your system32 directory. umm beyond that i son't know.

http://irc.oppresses.us/client.php

 

Select #sfn from the list.

 

If that fails it's probably your network.

 

The x-chat errror, have you googled, or checked the providers forums?

search google for the .dll and stick it in your system32 directory. umm beyond that i son't know.

 

Doh, I do that all the time...ME is renowned for DLL problems, cheers

 

Klaynos, followed your steps...just get 'undefined string' and nobody online.

 

I'm gonna give Xchat another go.

Aaarrrgghh !!!!! I give up, just wasted a couple of hours when I should be concentrating on an assignment...guess I'll just have to stick to the forum.

I've managed to get Mirc working, but I can't find the SFN server.

irc.apocalypse.me.uk

or

irc.oppresses.us

 

Should both work...

 

You'll need to add them to mirc or use the /server command

Thanks Klaynos, I'll give it a shot...incredibly busy this week, but hopefully I'll be chatting to you guys next week.
