Check your config, load modules

I've gotten that part worked out...this is the problem now. It won't join a channel and i can't even tell if it's connecting to the server.

is it ok that it ignores whatnet services like that?

You can add WhatNET.Services as a global friend and that will stop the ignores. Use *!*@WhatNET.Services and give it a global +f.

OK, I got the bot up and running...it was a simple issue of moving the LoadModule commands to the top of the config file. This may only be something that occurs in Mandrake Linux 10 but what a pain!! Anyway, how would I go about making WhatNet a "global friend"? thanks for your suggestions.

.+user WhatNET
.+host WhatNET *!*@WhatNET.Services
.chattr WhatNet +f
