Your host probably changed and the bot does not recognize you anymore. Try to add a host into your handle that you know will not change.

PS: you can use wildcards (i.e. *!*ident@127.0.0.*)

Hi Sir_Fz

You're right that when my host sometimes does change it won't let me in then either. But I've checked my whois and it's the normal one, which the bot should be accepting. Also when it goes wrong like this, it won't recognize the other people who have ops and give them @. My suspicion is that it's a problem with the bot's configuration, or maybe with the shell provider, but I don't know.

Thanks,
Martyn

Yep I've checked the user file and it's just normal, matching my whois info. The strange thing is, it does work most of the time, but sometimes it becomes unsocial and work recognise anyone...
