hi guys,
Most irc-servers only allow people with a hostname to connect to their services. Thus, if you can start irc on a machine that has a reverse lookup, you can connect. The machine you are sitting on now can not be resolved by the irc server, ie: [alwyns@196.34.63.75].
If you get a hostmask like [alwyns@server.company.com], it will let you in.
Then you just do "/join #zope", and Bob's your proverbial uncle :)
not all servers throw you out with unresolvable host names. alwyn, try some of these: - irc-e.irc.ligthning.net - irc.core.com - irc.freei.net - irc.cs.cmu.edu jens
