Hello all,

I'm having severe problems connecting to Resum.net.
Closing Link: 0.0.0.0 (Invalid username [*])
Needless to say thats not my IP and my username is not *

Wondernet tells me I should use a name without "."
But my name is just letters...

The resume problem usually can be 'fixed' by rebooting and logging in to resum directly after Windows 2000 has loaded.
The Wondernet problem I cant solve at all.

I'm using Windows 2000 with the latest updates/patches
Mirc 6.12

Search the site and you will find:

"This means the IRC server did not accept the username (User ID) settings in the Ident service (Identd) in mIRC under File/Options/Connect/Identd/. In the error message it shows the part it did not like between the [ ] brackets. Most probably you use characters in your File/Options/Connect/Identd/User ID settings that the server doesn't like. Make sure you remove all strange characters from your User ID. Remove dots, spaces, and all other non-alphabetical characters."

This doesn't just include "." but all strange characters like ascii text, commas, semicolons, hyphens, brackets, exclamation marks, question marks, currency symbols such as $, the percentage symbol or speech/quotation marks. Make sure your IdentD is made up of letters only all in lowercase for best results.

If the above does not work, search the networks website and find a way to contact the IRC Operators of that network. If you don't know the networks URL search Google.

To change your Ident, use /IdentD on NewIdentHere. This is the bit BEFORE the '@' in your [email]user@hostname[/email] (ident@hostname if you prefer). If you have a Firewall set you may need to allow port 113 before you can connect to the server/network. Port 113 is the Ident port.

By the way "0.0.0.0" is not meant to be your IP, it is meant to say "0.0.0.0" ;P
