School And UO/IRC

Hey guys, looks like recently my school has changed a few rules in regards to what ports are open, etc. I used to be able to use the school wifi for irc and uo. Recently I have not been able to connect to either, mirc just says:

[16:04] * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)
-
[16:04] * Connect retry #5 irc.wildirc.net (6667) (dns pool)

and razor loads up but the second I put my user name pass into the client it just stays at "Connecting"


Any thoughts? any way to utilize some sorta proxy to either of these issues? at least if I could irc troll it would be better than nothing :P

Just as an fyi with more info, I was on the IRC (through uosecondage.com) on a school computer this morning. This afternoon when I tried to use the IRC (through uosecondage.com) on my laptop I get this:

[16:08:09] Security error! Make sure you have port 843 open (firewall). If you are the server administrator, read www.lightirc.com/faq.html#security for information. This is most likely a server problem. You tried to connect to flash.wildirc.net:6667

Google "IRC Proxy"

You'll have to find a way to bypass the port or ip firewall :/

Also, maybe, try the Java Client, also linked on our homepage.

Anyone having issues connecting to the WildIRC Network (IRC Server) are to contact our Security Department. We do not allow unauthorized connections to connect to the network (Usually proxy connections). However, we can add exceptions and offer tips on how to connect properly.

Please contact Security@WildIRC.Net for more information.

Thanks!
Hope this helps.

Sorry I missed this thread .. (think I saw it at work one day but forgot when I got home) again, Sorry for delay.
