I am attempting to set up a local irc server to allow easy testing of scripts. The particular software i am attempting to use does not respond to mIRC's $network request.

Can you tell me if $network is requesting a specific numeric from the server. I believe I have the ability to insert responses in the servers setup, but I am not sure what I need to respond to?

Any help?

mIRC gets $network info from numerics 001 ("Welcome to the [network] IRC network...") and 005 (".... NETWORK=[network] are available on this server"). Both you get upon connecting (and sometimes after using /version).

There are not many daemons not sending this, the only one i know of is IRCnet's IRCd.
It can be easily coded in, if you know C :tongue:

That was the exact information I needed. Modified the 001 and 005 response lines to include the server name and mIRC is now very happy finding the $network for me.. thanks so much!
