Good to see more servers are supporting ipv6 , there is one thing..

Code: Select all

00:15 !irc.ptptech.com *** Processing connection to irc.ptptech.com
00:15 !irc.ptptech.com *** Looking up your hostname...
00:15 !irc.ptptech.com *** Checking Ident
00:15 !irc.ptptech.com *** Couldn't look up your hostname
00:15 !irc.ptptech.com *** No Ident response
00:15 !irc.ptptech.com *** Notice -- You need to install identd to use this server
00:15 -!- ERROR Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (Install identd)
00:15 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to irc.ptptech.com
00:15 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.ipv6.homelien.no

00:15 !irc.ipv6.homelien.no *** Couldn't look up your hostname
00:15 !irc.ipv6.homelien.no *** Got Ident response

could be alot of reasons, but probably the ident lookup timeout is too short?
