Code: on *:CONNECTFAIL: if ($network == badnetwork) { /server badnetwork }

However I only want to do it for this network - if any other network can't connect I want it to give up after the normal number of retry attempts

This seems to be a bug so I'm not sure about what you can do in the meantime #mircscripting @ irc.swiftirc.net == the best mIRC help channel

In the meantime an ugly hack may help: Code: on *:connectfail:{ var %server = $iif($server, $v1, $left($gettok($window(Status Window).title, -1, 32), -1)) ; Do something with %server here } Spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and stupid comments are intentional.
