Hi, I have just downloaded hexchat and circ and tried to log into a
channel but failed. it kept saying:


>Looking up your hostname...

>Checking Ident

>Couldn't look up your hostname

>No Ident response

>Capabilities supported: account-notify extended-join identify-msg
multi-prefix sasl

>Capabilities requested: account-notify extended-join identify-msg
multi-prefix

>Capabilities acknowledged: account-notify extended-join identify-msg
multi-prefix

I tried to google but could not find a satisfactory answer. I also
tried using VPN but to no success.

Could you please help?

EDIT: Problem solved. Changed to another server and it helped. Thank
you all.

Make sure you have a nick, alternate nick, user name, and "real" name
set

Yup, did that but still failed.

It read the same as above.

it's an extension for chrome user. Works the same as any irc based
program.
