Problems With Trillian w/ OLR IRC

Problems With Trillian w/ OLR IRCI'm trying to connect to the IRC chat on OLR but I can't figure out how to connect to it through Trillian. Can anyone help me?
You better be glad I like you . It's not often I 1) switch over to windows 2) install new software to get step-by-step instructions.
It's been far too long since I've used Trillian. I honestly would whole heartedly suggest that you get a dedicated IRC client for your desktop. I was never a fan of Trillian IRC. Should you decide to do so, I recommend Silverex But, it's all up to you. Here's how Trillian does it: First, get into the connection management menu. ASsuming you're not in minimal or tabbed mode or anything, all you have to do is click (in the menu bar): Trillian -> Connections -> Manage my Connections Click the 'add a new connection' button and choose IRC. Server Alias = Otherside ( or Orange Lounge Radio, or whatever, this name doesn't matter, it only serves as a friendly name for YOU to remember it by) In the box that says: irc.trillian.com::6667 put: irc.neovanglist.net::6667 Choose the nickname you'd like to use ( I would assume you'll be choosing YURILOVER ? ) In the last two boxes (username and user info).. I'm trying to think of how this works, as it's caused problems in the past. In username, put whatever you used as your nickname in all lower case. So in this case, you probably want: yurilover IIRC, userinfo is "ideally" your real name. But remember, this is the big scary IRC/Internet you're connecting too, so make something up. Put like, Stevedave or something in that box (10 points to whoever gets the reference). Auto connect is entirely your decision. You can, you don't have to. All up to you. Next, click on the "Change" button, and this is where it gets stupid. In the section that starts with the "Enabled identd server" box, change "user ID" to the lowercase version of your nickname like previously. So, again: yurilover should suffice. I would also suggest checking the box that says "After successful connection to the IRC Server <blah blah blah", and in the text box, type: /join #orangelounge Everything else is fine by default, so click 'Save Settings' and then 'Connect' Give it about 1 minute to connect. If a chat window doesn't pop up, something's probably wrong. If this is the case, then go into your Trillian Buddy List window, click on the white circle (should just be a white outline, might look greyish) and then click 'show status window'. If the error is non obvious or you don't know how to fix it, copy all of the output and shoot me a Private Message and I'll see what I can do.
Don't apologize .
By the way, I find this very funny/ironic/amusing. When I was testing to make sure I got everything right, here's the log of the chatroom from my actual IRC client: 02:26:39 -!- VxJasonxV^Tril [~vxjasonxv@anon-402379] has joined #orangelounge 02:26:49 <VxJasonxV^Tril> woot 02:26:51 -!- VxJasonxV^Tril [~vxjasonxv@anon-402379] has quit [Quit: Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com] 04:03:49 -!- YURILOVER [~yurilover@anon-295072.bstnma.east.verizon.net] has joined #orangelounge 04:04:03 <YURILOVER> w00t 04:04:13 <YURILOVER> thanks VxJasonxV! 04:22:05 -!- YURILOVER [~yurilover@anon-295072.bstnma.east.verizon.net] has quit [Ping timeout] How very ironic .
