First step, and *always* first step, is to plug in a loopback cable (1 -> 4, 2 
-> 5) and see what happens.

Loopback should always make your status LEDs glow steady green.  If that's not 
working then you've got other problems.

I'd always prefer to clock off of the channel bank; chances are its internal 
clock is higher stratum than anything on the T100P.  :-)

You need to register with freenode.  hop on freenode, then /msg nickserv help 
for instructions on how to register.  bkw_ set the channel mode to require 
registered accounts to try and stop the spam bots from constantly disrupting 
the channel.
