XChat + BNC

[kc9ddi]

Hi -

I'm trying to setup XChat to connect through a bouncer (BNC). When I connect to the bouncer's URL, it connects, prints out its welcome message, and then immediately disconnects. Here's what appears in XChat:

Code: Select all

* Looking up my.bnc.host
* Connecting to my.bnc.host (68.145.240.173) port 8888...
* Connected. Now logging in...
* Welcome to BNC v2.9.4, the irc proxy
* Level two, lets connect to something real now
* type /quote conn [-s] <server> [port] [pass] to connect
* type /quote help for basic list of commands and usage
* Disconnected (Connection reset by peer).


Looking at BNC's log doesn't reveal anything, so I can't determine if its a problem with XChat or BNC, or something else all together. Any ideas?

There's the problem.

In Network settings add you BNC pass into the 'Server password' box.

I don't have a password set up (but I tried adding one, and it still failed). That /quote command connects to the other IRC server you're trying to bounce to - it has nothing to do with BNC's password setting (afaik).

PsyBNC requires a pass!
