I use xchat to connect to the chat server at work.
It is an internal chat server - specific to my group
This is what i do
Tunnel to the chat server host:
ssh -L 7767:localhost:7767 casper@192.168.41.29
Then I type this into a terminal to open up the xchat on my local box.
xchat --url=irc://localhost:7767
I guess this points the app to the port I tunneling to - 7767
I want to change clients - I am trying to set up irissi.
I tried connecting with these commands.
Code:
/connect 172.18.41.29 irc://localhost:7767
/connect irc://localhost:7767
but i get this
Code:
13:41 -!- Irssi: Removed reconnection to server irc://localhost:7767 port 7767
13:41 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc://localhost:7767
