I suspect the ports got blocked by some firewall set up. I tried to look through any rules regarding the port, But somehow it's hidden somewhere in the Windows set up. I did not figure out how to change it.
I tried several ports, they did not work. Thanks for the ssh recommendation. I'll try it. SSH+irssi+screen (or tmux) persistent connection should solve The problem. Thanks for all the recommendations! -Fang -----Original Message----- From: Joe Brockmeier [mailto:j...@zonker.net] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2013 7:02 AM To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [discuss] problem to access the CS IRC channel On Thu, Feb 21, 2013, at 06:47 PM, Fang Wang wrote: > If we can use the local client IRC to talk to the server, then it > will ring when there's msg for me.

A lot of us use SSH+irssi+screen (or tmux) to keep a persistent connection even when we might be traveling. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier j...@zonker.net Twitter: @jzb http://www.dissociatedpress.net/
