Hi all! My problem is I can't connect to the fumbbl chat, either from IRC java applet or mIrc! I have never tried to use any IRC chat before so im not so skilled in its usage, however, even if I follow the link on the fumbbl chat webbpage that automatically sets mirc to logg on to the fumbbl chat it dosen´t work.
It keeps saying "unable to connect to server" in mirc and in the java chat it keeps saying something like this "!!!couldn't connect to oberon.afternet.org gate 6667". I have a old net adapter, Netgear FA312.
I have tried to update the drivers to version1.8, as recommended, but i have been unable to install the drivers! I don't know how to do it, have tried a lot of ways to install the drivers but no sucsses so far.
My computer is connected thru a home network, that is protected by a firewall of some sort. Do you think this chat problem is firewall related?
Any help I could get would be most welcome! |

it may well be the firewall thats stopping you connecting
try forwarding port 6667 to your computer or asking the person who set the firewall up to help you |
