If it does not connect ensure you have the correct port set.


If port 6697 is the SSL port, you need to specify the "+" before the port.
If no port is set HexChat defaults to ''6667'' for non-ssl and ''6697'' for ssl.


This is a failed attempt due to not specifying the "+"

Troubleshooting

If it does not connect ensure you have the correct port set.

If no port is set HexChat defaults to 6667 for non-ssl and 6697 for ssl.

The format in the network list for ports is address/port

This is a failed attempt due to not specifying the correct port.
