Hi all,

I am a new user of the ngircd. I created an IRC client in C++ and i am now interested in testing it with your ngircd server.

i am having some troubles during the registration phase and i don't understand where i am wrong. I wonder if any of you can help.

The IRC protocol states that client has to register the user following these steps:

1. Pass message
2. Nick message 2. Service message
3. User message

Actually, i create first a socket to the ngicrd (run win -n) which responds "Accepted connection from <IP> on socket <id>"

then i send the following messages:

PASS NOPASS\n\r

NICK giggio\n\r

USER guest 0 * :Ronald Reagan\n\r

And after a while i get the following answers:

Shutting down connection <id> (Timeout) with <IP:port>

Client unregistered (<id>) : Timeout

I tried to use /PASS or to erase \n\r but i always get a Timeout error.

I don't get what i'm doing wrong since i am respecting the IRC Protocol

cheers,

alex
