Hi everyone,

I am an ircop on a server, and recently can't connect because I have no o-lines for my host. This is what it looks like as I connect at the start:

-irc.freenode.net- *** Looking up your hostname...
-
-irc.freenode.net- *** Checking ident
-
-irc.freenode.net- *** Couldn't look up your hostname
-

I have an adsl connection, and after I oper up, it says:

-
No O-lines for your host

I don't have a proxy and no firewall or router, What could be wrong, and how could I bypass it?

well if you are an ircop on freenode (not likely) then you talk to your ircop friends in #freenode and tell them about this

This just means that the IRCd for the server you're on doesn't have an 'o-line' (a line in the ircd.conf that identifies you as an oper) for your hostname. This is nothing to do with mIRC, it's a server issue, and as Mtec said, you'll need to speak to a server administrator to get your IP/hostname added to the server.

Server administrators are the only ones with the ability to do this (sometimes Assistance Admins too). Check the /motd of the server to see who the server admin is for the server you're using.

Regards,

It's probably a result of your hostname not being resolved, which means that if the O-Line uses a hostmask (many do) it won't match. Ask a server admin to add an O-Line for your IP aswell (assuming it's static).

If your IP changes dramatically then you'll have to ask the server admin to leave the hostname/IP field of the O-Line as just a wildcard. It makes it slightly less secure, but as long as you've got a decent password and you're on a small network it shouldn't matter really. However I'd surprised if at least your IP's network number (the first one or two octets) doesn't remain the same.
