Hi,
I have been on Efnet ever since I started using IRC. Recently though I have had some problems. When I have disconnected and then tried to re-connect, it won't allow me to connect and comes up with the following msg;
* Connecting to irc.efnet.net (6667)
-
-irc.efnet.net- *** Looking up your hostname...
-
-irc.efnet.net- *** Checking Ident
-
-irc.efnet.net- *** Found your hostname
-
-irc.efnet.net- *** Got Ident response
-
Closing Link: rockyb[@255.255.255.255] (Invalid username [])
I have tried updating my version of mIRC and changing my username but it still won't connect. If anyone can help, I would be very grateful. Thanks guys
Regards

Make sure you are not using any non-standard latin letters in the identd field. Also make sure you dont have a dot infront of your desired ident. And I dont think email matters when his client answers ident requests. The problem here seems to be that there is no information in the ident field.
The only thing I can think of is to reinstall mIRC and make sure you only type proper letters in all the required fields.

Re: Still ain't working
That is only a temporary kline (5 minutes) Just wait for the kline to expire, and you will be fineRocky101 wrote:Hi again,

About your ident problem, I have no idea what you are doing wrong. The only thing I can think of is that you are behind a NAT firewall and the firewall is configured to respond with a specific answer on identd requests (blank if this is the case) I know that some of the most common Windows internet sharing programs have this option.
Could this be the problem?
Good luck

For starterrs, get your servers from here:
http://www.efnet.info/?module=servers
also, exactly what do you have in the email and identd options?
