I making a "resent" server menu, but i got a problem, if i connect to as an example quakenet, then i connect to se.quakenet.org, but
when i do //echo -a $server i got the answer:

port80b.se.quakenet.org

if i try connect to the server i got in the reply i get the error:

* Unable to resolve server

How can i replace the server with the right one, do i need to read from the server list, or is it any bether way to do this? if i read from the server list, then how can i make mirc understand i connect to a *.se server, or a *.us server or to a *.uk server. don't know how many other networks using the same way when you connect, but ideas on this one would be nice. smile

to make a "recent" server list use the servers your given at connect time. The hostname given by $server after you connect is returned by the server and its not guaranteed to be a valid/real hostname-- replacing it with the "right" one would be using "se.quakenet.org". There's no direct translation between the server you connect to with /server and the hostname the server responds with in $server.

Any way to solve this? or is it impossible?

Rather than worrying about the specific server, use the network name, especially if the network is already in mIRC's server list.
