Not sure why this happens,but for some reason after about a month i cant ctcp my bot.i tried to /msg botnick ident password and that didnt help any.i been having this problem for awhile now.the only way i been able to fix the problem is to delete the bot file and start all over again.i have the ip in config file and also have port set in my router and i didnt see any problem with any fire wall.hope someone can solve this problem for me.thanks
