Hey, Its either too simple im not seeing it, or i have had too much coffee. WHen i try and log onto any IRC server i get booted, here is a snippit from my logs:

[10:34] Trying server irc.server.com:6667
[10:34] Connected to irc.server.com
[10:34] -NOTICE- *** Looking up your hostname...
[10:34] -NOTICE- *** Checking Ident
[10:34] -NOTICE- *** Found your hostname
[10:34] -NOTICE- *** No Ident response
[10:34] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: Username[~wanker@255.255.255.255] (Bad user info)
[10:34] Disconnecting from server.

I cant find where its getting the 255.255.255.255 value from, and no matter what i do to the conf file it still ramains. Ideas?

This is not config file related.

This message is produced when the server your bot is on has not been granted access to the server.

The message after this address is the real reason why you have not beed granted this access (bad user info).

Ok, so its not an issue with the config file. But what user info would it be pulling and from where?

Username[~wanker@255.255.255.255] (Bad user info)

Some servers do not allow such words on there servers.

Fixed it. I was just doing a search and replace of "lame", and apparently the server i am connecting to dosen't let you connect with the default user info of "/msg Username hello"

Just had to change it to "Username" and all was good.

Thx for the help.
