Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
   Java IRC Client   

If you don't have an IRC client installed, you can now use our Java IRC client, thanks to the efforts of the Eteria IRC Client Project. The client is GPL, so you can download the source and/or binaries from the EIRC homepage.

You will also require a Java bytecode interpreter / VM installed for your web browser.

As we have just re-introduced this service to our users, can you please ensure that if you encounter any problems, you report them to webmaster@smoothwall.org.

Please also be aware that we do not support the EIRC Java Client, nor do we warranty or guarantee that it will be fit for purpose.

IRC has always been important in the development of SmoothWall, and we extend that importance to SmoothWall users. You can use IRC to chat to developers and fellow users in real time using an IRC client of your choosing. Just point your client at

irc.smoothwall.org 6667

#chat
This is a channel intended simply for chat, which is the reason we set up our IRC server in the first place :) Please don't come into this channel asking for help with SmoothWall.

#help
This channel is where you can ask questions about, and ask for help with SmoothWall Express. It is usually manned by volunteers, and not everyone can work 24/7 answering questions about SmoothWall, so there may be times when no-one answers, especially late at night (GMT).

Please note that it is not a support channel for any commercial SmoothWall products, e.g. Corporate Server.
