circ cannot connect to freenode server

[hannibalhuang]

I'm using samsung chromebook, installed circ app from store. when i tried "/server irc.freenode.net" or "/server chat.freenode.net", circ cannot connect to server, and the error msg is " Socket Error: Invalid write on socket, code: -101."

And here I just see: "Connecting to chat.freenode.net..." or "Connecting to irc.freenode.net..."

I'm under Chromium Version 32.0.1700.77 (244343)

@gerep I believe your port maybe blocked for some reason.

see http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml

you can try alternative port such as 6665, 6666, 6667, 6697, 7000,8001-2

however when you try to specify the port you might get this error in chrome

Error in response to socket.create: Error: Invocation of form socket.connect(integer, string, string, function) doesn't match definition socket.connect(integer socketId, string hostname, integer port, function callback)

    at Object.callback (chrome-extension://bebigdkelppomhhjaaianniiifjbgocn/bin/chat/storage.js:419:15) 

looks like port is passed to chrome.socket.connect as a string but it is giving error when it is not a number

I am going to raise another issue for it

@simontseng Even I am not able to connect and have verified that all the ports are open. Earlier I thought it was due to CIRC not recognizing system proxies, but it is not able to connect even on direct connection.

[simontseng]

@sidhantpanda are you using the default port to connect 6667 or 6697, i do suspect some of the problem is related to port, see my issue #264

[sidhantpanda]

@simontseng yes, I am using the default ports (not mentioning anything in the command)

I'm getting this same issue now, anybody got a workaround?

[sidhantpanda]

@mansona are you behind a campus internet or do you have a direct connection?

[mansona]

@sidhantpanda actually this seems to have sorted itself for me. I hadn't used the app in a while and I think i just thought there was something wrong.

works for me

[onyekaa]

Just installed this, cannot get it to work. Same problem.

[guilhermeaiolfi]

Same problem here. I had to use a server with ipv6 support, for me dickson.freenode.net worked.

[felipe1982]

works for me irc.freenode.net
