Hi there!

I'm no IRC expert, but let me get the ball rolling.

Are you SURE you're trying to connect to "irc.snoonet.com" It's kind
of an awkward name, so make sure its right.

Does your internet work otherwise? Are you behind any school or work
firewalls?

The server's fine, I'm guessing it might be a DNS issue; try
connecting to 184.164.131.182 instead of irc.snoonet.com

Internet works!

I copy and pasted the URL from the sidebar!

**EDIT:** Didn't work :(

You sure you've unblocked it in firewalls? mIRC is kinda 'install and
run' in my experience, doesnt really require much troubleshooting so
im not sure what's wrong.

Are you using the right port (6667)?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
bobpndrgn · 2012-08-10 21:12

Yeah?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
bobpndrgn · 2012-08-10 21:16

Firewalls are ok too. Do I have to enter a name and email for the IRC?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Techno_Shaman · 2012-08-10 21:21

Only if you wanted to register. How about this: can you do a post of
the server messages you receive on pastebin? Maybe that will help.

Try ping the IP, type in commandline for windows, or equivalent "ping
184.164.131.182". If there is packetloss or the pings are not working,
traceroute it, work out whether it is a routing issue or an "in house"
(eg firewall etc) problem.

You can also follow this guide: http://www.tech-
recipes.com/rx/233/clear_windows_dns_cache/, if you're on a different
system, lookup the equivalent in google. Good luck.
