The Europeans are taking over EFNet. RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

Try starting here http://www.portforward.com/ and see if there's a guide for the netgear wireles device you own. If not, try read the guides of similiar products from netgear. If you're using mirc, you can set the range of ports in mIRC options --> connect --> options --> advanced, use anything you ...

Some interesting ideas, but it will definitely get innocents. Complete automation is not the way to go. Drones can respond to private msgs. There's no such thing as can't.

First try plain mIRC. That is, don't install Invision. Try connecting to the many various servers you see listed on this site (click on Servers on the front page of this website). Try them all. You will see a message within the first window of mIRC, which is the status window of the server you are c...

Looks like a desynched channel.

It is not that servers don't scan for proxies. It is that there's no definitive list of every known opened and abusable proxy out there, so realistically, it's near impossible. However, keep in mind that server admins do try the best to keep any type of abuse off from their server. It's not their fa...

You left out some other popular irc clients in no particular order:
xchat, epic, irssi and the granddaddy, ircii.
xchat and epic has Windows ports.

First off, it's not an error message from your IRC client. I assume it's mIRC running with excursion. Turn off DCC ignore.
