I’ve got the IRC transport registered and it shows up in my roster. The “Test” button on the server admin screen indicates “Success”. But for the life of me I can’t get anything to connect me to a channel on IRC. Here are the settings I’m using:
Openfire v3.4.5, IM Gateway Plugin v1.2.2a
IRC server: irc.freenode.net
Port: 7000
In service disco I have Transports-> irc.mydomain.com. It also shows up under Conference as conference.irc.mydomain.com.
I registered with the transport providing a Nick. It shows up in my roster under Transports and indicates I am “logged in”.
So this all appears correct, but I can’t connect to an IRC channel. I’m using “Join Groupchat” and have tried the following syntaxes for the “room name”:
channel@conference.irc.mydomain.com
channel%irc.freenode.net@conference.irc.mydomain.com
channel%irc.freenode.net@irc.mydomain.com
(and also all the above with # in front of the channel name)
But everthing I try just hangs indefinitely.
What am I missing?
