I can't get connected to the gamesnet server. I've tried using mIRC and Trillian, neither will work.
Did you type in the whole thing? irc.gamesnet.net not irc.games.net
Yes, I did. mIRC even has it listed as a channel. I'm simply getting no response from their end. I don't want to add yet another IRC program, so I'll keep trying.
Alright, assuming you have the newest version of Trillian, Open the Trillian menu, connections, manage connections, press add new connection, IRC, type in (in this order):
Gamesnet
irc.gamesnet.net
*your nickname*
*whatever*
*whatever*
That ought to do the trick.
Instead of using the channel search, type in /join #gamingsteve in the command line.
