Hmmm, that's not working... Its now rolling the same error message over and over...
[Info] Connection to Server irc.alug.org.uk lsot: no error. Trying to reconnect
Is there perhaps a better IRC client I could use rather than Konversation?
Indeed. Perhaps it is best to avoid a "client" for now, we can always go back to one at a later date. For now, try this web-based one;
Fill in the boxes with the following information:
Nickname: somethingofyourchoice Server: irc.alug.org.uk Channel: #alug
then click Login and you should be in the chat room with us.
I'm thinking one of the reasons you're unable to connect to the chat server is because the traffic it runs on is being blocked by a firewall perhaps. If you still can't get in on the web-based one, go to http://www.ircatwork.com/advanced.html and change the port number to anything between 6668, 6669, 6670 or 7000. Perhaps traffic won't be blocked on those ports. We shall see..
