I have problems in connecting to an irc-server.

["Torsten Lang" <TLang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

I just found this e-mail addy in the rfc2812 under support and availability.

Im currently programming an own IRC-Client with a friend. Everything works fine, we just have trouble in connecting to the irc server.

Sometimes it's working, sometimes it's not.

 

When connecting our client sends the NICK command and then the USER command.

 

But everything is acting weird.

 

I never get an ident response.

Even if I can connect to the server i don't get it as you can see here:

 

NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname
NOTICE AUTH :*** Found your hostname, cached
NOTICE AUTH :*** Checking Ident
PING :1700376905
test.uk.quakenet.org 001 testname :Welcome to the Internet Relay Network testname

...

 

After that its connecting to the IRC server.

 

And sometimes it just says this:

 

NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname
NOTICE AUTH :*** Checking Ident
NOTICE AUTH :*** Found your hostname
NOTICE AUTH :*** No ident response
PING :1163268885

And nothing happens after that. I just get disconnected with a Ping timeout.

The NICK command when connecting is:
NICK nickname

The User command is:
USER nickname 0 * :realname

We have no idea why it does't work.
I hope you can help us in any way.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully

Torsten Lang
