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 :)

I would also like to remind everybody that has the time/possibility - hang
out on the channel - it's very rewarding to have a channel with people that
can offer "instant" support. I'm just starting to learn Zope, and the
people in there have been very helpful.
