Connecting to Group Chats via node-irc

Tried all those ports. I just started delving into this today so I the margin for error is definitely high.

Here’s what I have so far to simply connect:

var settings = {
    channels : ["#_thecreaux_1397348735201"],
    server : "199.9.248.248",
    port: 80,
    secure: false,
    nick : "drekerr",
    password : "oauth:_____" 
}
 
var irc = require("irc");
 
var bot = new irc.Client(settings.server, settings.nick, {
    channels: [settings.channels + " " + settings.password],
    debug: false,
    password: settings.password,
    username: settings.nick
});
 
bot.connect(function() {
    console.log("Connected!");
});
 
bot.addListener('error', function(message) {
    console.log('error: ', message);
});

If it connects, console will tell me. But if not, no error message. Nothing in the console.
