I've just moved to university and found that mIRC and Opera IRC are blocked. Yesterday I was able to connect to IRC using Mibbit.com, which I know sucks, but I'm guessing not much else will work.
Today, however, I'm getting this error: OperServ: The session limit for your host webchat.mibbit.com has been exceeded.
I don't know if this is a block by the university, but if not do you know any way to resolve the problem?
Is there any way to get on to mIRC without a proxy?

Try to change your DNS server.

It means exactly what it says. Mibbit puts a cap on how long you can be on an IRC server from what I understand.amomentlikethis wrote:I've just moved to university and found that mIRC and Opera IRC are blocked.

You could try downloading various other IRC clients. HyrdaIRC and Pidgin are what I'm familiar with and they both seem to do everything necessary. There are various others though that a Wikipedia search for "List of IRC clients" would show you.

I don't remember, but Meebo(.com) might have an IRC client.
Otherwise, if you're feeling more technical, you could find a remote machine on the outside that doesn't have that port blocked, and then tunnel all the traffic from it to you through ssh.

Thanks for the help. I wouldn't have a clue how to do what Tsukatu said, but I'll have a look into different clients.

Ok I had the same problem, and I know its not as good as mIRC or opera, but try Chatzilla. It seems to go through on the network that is at my school, I just downloaded it to Firefox and was able to get on
Make sure to type
/server irc.mountai.net in and it should go pretty well.
Good luck!

Nah, it just links a bunch of social networking and chat sites into a single place. No IRC there.Tsukatu wrote:Meebo(.com) might have an IRC client.
