Read Before Posting in IRC Networks

Use this forum for discussions and support relating to individual IRC networks.

Suitable topics include:

• Recommended IRC server addresses.
• Network-specific ports and SSL/TLS requirements.
• IPv4 and IPv6 compatibility.
• Connection limits imposed by an IRC network.
• Network-specific error messages.
• Nickname and channel-service requirements.
• A network that connects through one server but not another.
• Choosing the correct dashboard network preset.
• Custom IRC networks not included in the preset list.

Before creating a thread

Please check:

1. The server hostname is correct.
2. The selected port matches the server.
3. SSL/TLS is enabled or disabled as required.
4. The IRC server supports the address type used by your selected vHost.
5. The network successfully saved in the dashboard.
6. You have attempted one dashboard reconnect.
7. The problem affects the external IRC network rather than your connection to Eggy BNC itself.

Information to include

Include:

• The name of the IRC network.
• The configured server hostname.
• The configured port.
• Whether SSL/TLS is enabled.
• The exact error message.
• The approximate time of the failure.
• Whether another server for the same network works.
• Whether the dashboard reports the network as connected or disconnected.

Do not post your password or a complete BNC connection command containing your password.
