Forgot to mention that you should connect your irc client to your external computer's ip with port 80...
Also, my solution (if it works.. it should I think!) uses pretty much the same principle that emrys' : outbound port 80 is almost always left open for http...

that works too :)
If only my home computer wasn't two LANs off of the internet AND behind the work ISP, oh well. The good side, I get to play around with IE settings, wheee!
hmm...let's see:
I downloaded the prog, set my SOCK setting in IE to 127.0.0.1 port 1081
(the log said it couldn't use 1080 because something else was already using it, so 1081)
configured prog to "no proxy, only firewall" which worked for address.
tried antionline's java client, couldn't establish connection on irc.antionline.com port 6667.
any help?
Sorry if incoherent, need to sleep soon
I also have Visual IRC '97 and mIRC installed, if you would rather show how to use those
ok dont worry that mean instead of putting 1080 as the port put 1081 :)...just do that and it should work :).....it depends how the servers feel like working but usually 1080 works :) oh and thx for the points g0d knows wot they are for :-P
