Re: [newbie] Regarding off-toppic chit-chats: IRC

[Terry Sheltra]

Pardon the total newbieness :-), but I can seem to configure X-chat correctly to connect to irc.freenode.net .. I put in the server name, gave myself a nickname, and when i try to connect, I get the following:


--- Connecting to sterling.freenode.net (212.204.214.114) port 6667..
--- Connected. Now logging in..
--- AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname...
--- AUTH :*** Found your hostname, welcome back
--- AUTH :*** Checking ident
--- AUTH :*** No identd (auth) response
--- Closing Link: ts (Bad user info)
--- Disconnected (Remote host closed socket).

Is there something else I need to do that I'm not doing?

Thanks!

Terry

Actually there is a channel on Freenode called #mandrake-offtopic that might be most appropriate for off topic chat.I am there now and it could use some provocation.
