You should be receiving an irc_433 immediately after the PoCo::IRC client sends your nick request when your nick is in use. After that all you have to do is issue a nick change to your new random nick and the rest of the connect will happen. If you want to see it in code, take a look at lib/PipSqueek/Plugin/PipSqueek.pm in the bot's source download at http://pipsqueek.net/. If you're not receiving that even upon connect, then the ircd is at fault and you may just want to add an alarm and check if the bot has received the 001 (connected) or 372 (motd) after 4-5 seconds. If not, then you can issue a nick change and finish the connection sequence. Just to show you the IRC numerics happening (the lines preceeded by colons are the ones sent by the server to me) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ telnet irc.topgamers.net 6667 :tg2.irc.topgamers.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Looking up your hostname... :tg2.irc.topgamers.net NOTICE AUTH :*** Found your hostname (cached) USER l8nite l8nite l8nite l8nite NICK l8nite :tg2.irc.topgamers.net 433 * l8nite :Nickname is already in use.
