Forums Connection Issues Stop Mirc From Looking Up Local Host & Ip

Is there a way to stop Mirc from looking up the local host and ip address when you connect..I need it to stay to the host and ip I entered..any help would really be appreciated..Thx

Options -> Connect -> Local Info. Uncheck "Local Host" and "IP Address".

I unchecked those two..On connect always get: Local Host & Ip address..But it still changes the ip adress I enter in there everytime I connect to a server..:(

Mm can't reproduce this , you're not running any scripts are you? If you are there might be one that is doing a /userhost for some reason. Try typing /remote off and reconnecting. (turn it back on if it still happens).

Actually I am usin' the latest Invision..I turned off remote ant that seemed to do the trick..what else is that goin' to effect?(left off)

Personally I would keep it on for the time being and make a post here asking how to stop Invision asking the server for your host (I wouldn't recommend poking around in the script file if you don't know what your doing).

Think I will take your advise and leave it on..I'll try the invision forum..Thanks for the help..really appreciate it.

It will still display it and do the local host lookup because when mIRC connects it sends your localhost info to the server. Here's a sample of the raw event:

-> irc.bigpond.com USER Blah "glass.nsw.iserv.com.au" "irc.bigpond.com" :Blah

That is what my script sends. All IRC programmes do much the same thing. Without that the server won't accept your connection.

*Watchdog taps Khaled on the shoulder... It would be a nice touch if mIRC could haltdef these status window events...
