hello,

I was making a client with Visual basic
I am trying for hours to connect with a Irc server but i can connect but i
dont know how to send text and chat with people.
i was trying to send USER and NICK but i get no response and they keep
saying No Ident Response.
is there someone who has already maked a chat client with Visualbasic and
can he/she send the code to me. or explane how i can get a good connection
with the server so i can chat. :D

Thx, Emil

Looking at that error, seems like you're doing everything
appropriately on the programming side - no ident response is a code
returned by IRC servers. What it looks like your problem is is that
you're not implementing the protocol properly. Is it sending a request
for identification that you're not replying to when you connect?
There's definitely information you need to send to initiate a
connection.

The specification for the IRC protocol is RFC 1459... you can read it
here:

http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/rfc.html

Hope this helps. :)
 
I'm almost 100% certain that there is a chat server/client in the
Microsoft sample code for express here:
http://www.microsoft.com/express/samples/

I remember messing with it a while back, but I don't know how you would
link up with IRC.

Either way that should give you some idea of what you're looking at.
