Ok, this doesn't work ;)

This doesn't work too. It no difference if I connect to 127.0.0.1,
localhost, local IP or global IP, I have always the same host, knux.nu,
which is in the 
/etc/hosts:193.77.28.55		knux.nu 

If I connect to server from a local network my hostname is @192.168.x.x


p.s.My ISP doesn't have reverse DNS lookup if it matters.

Another thing, what flags should I have in Oper mode? If I toggle 'oper
mode' in BitchX, I get about 5 'Unknown mode flag' and it gives me just
+iwo

I am using 2.10.3+cX7.: irc.hudci.org aeEfFHijJkMrRu

Thanks for all your help.
You guys have a marry christmas and a happy new year ;)
