asterisk users - Jul 2004 - IRC channel #asterisk on irc.freenode.net

Hi all!

It's great to start with "for dummies" question, but hey, we all
have
been human infants also =)

Problem is, that I can not log on to this channel and I haven't found
anything helpful during the past few days either.

1. The irc.freenode.net server gives me "Couldn't look up your
hostname"
and "No identd (auth) response" followed with "Closing Link: StiX
(Invalid username [~antti.loh])"

2. Should I register? Where? That's one of the problems. I use mIRC on
WIN2k and I should have the "On connect, always get: Localhost and IP
address" on.

Please, help me, so I don't have to flood Your inboxes, but ask about
basic * things on the channel!

BR, Antti

Maybe your username is invalid.

Hi!

And thanks for helping me out here.

Ok, I have an invalid username - how do I get a valid username?

Thx

Please see my previous post - if you install identd it will give you a valid
name.  Identd is quite common service and usually very safe to open
remotely.

I changed from mIRC options to "Enable Identd server". Is that enough
or
is Identd some little script or what?

This is *specifically* why I wish bkw (Brian West) would turn off that flag on 
the channel.

In order to combat spam bots infiltrating the channel, it is set up to only 
allow freenode-registered nicknames.

In order to register your nickname with freenode, send a "/msg nickserv
help"
command once you're on freenode.  NickServ is a Nickname Server bot -- it 
will let you register a nickname and set a password so your nickname can't
be
"stolen".  

Identd is *not* required.  

Regards,
Andrew

This is all I get. Can I send /msg  -messages?

My name has no symbols like "?%&?%"?%&"...

Remove the dot in your username. Maybe you make it "antilope" :-)
