This is a prime topics forum where people should place topics which they would rather have disussed properly by other members and not tossed aside in place of mindless drivel. If you would rather post mindless drivel go to the chat forum, it is welcomed there and a good place to go for a well earned break!!!
Okay, that sounds like a good idea, and I do indeed have a friend running Linux - however, he's also behind our Uni firewall, and I guess the bounce server really needs a direct connection to the chat server, rather than via the problem-causing proxy.
I'll try looking for some alternative cgi chat clients, perhaps with a few more commands available...

Yes, point? Thought this was one place I'd get away from that..
Boffin!
I'm not the techguru you were referring to, but I have an idea..
If possible, get a friend on a Linux box to set up a bounce server - basically this allows you to connect to any server via their machine, and since you can specify a port for the bounce server to listen on, you can choose one that isn't blocked by your machine.
For example, get your friend to set up a bounce server listening on port 2355 (random port). You then connect to his machine with mIRC (or a similar client), and from that bounce server connect to the final server. You are then connected as if the bounce server was never there, and can join a passworded channel in the normal way.

Nope! Well... I'm aint mr techguru!

Well, now that you've created another seemingly pointless thread, perhaps you can asnwer a query of mine, Mr.techguru
My problem is this:
I wish to connect to a chat channel which is passworded. I know the password. However, the only chat clients I can use are cgi based ones, which don't seem to support the command
/join #channel password
instead, they only seem to support
/join #channel
And thus I have no way of entering the password.
Any ideas?
