Can't connect to freenode and snoonet at the same time?
reddit / irc

I've been trying to connect to snoonet and freenode, but they'll kick
each other off as soon as I connect to the other and nickserv tells me
I'm already signed in under 'farded' like it thinks the servers are
the same. I'm using irssi with the '/connect' command and even tried
with two instances to see if it was the program messing up. Sure
enough, as soon as I'm on snoonet/freenode, the other disconnects.
This used to work without any trouble.


Update: i logged onto both without getting disconnected and it will
only let me use "farded" on one server at a time. Disconnected from
freenode and was suddenly able to change my nick back to 'farded' on
snoonet without getting the message that "nick farded is aready in
use".
I'm on my way out the door and will investigate more later, hopefully
with some extra insight.

**SOLVED**: Finally actually went to snoonet and found the server is
irc.snoonet.**org** . For some strange reason, irc.snoonet.com was
just connecting me to freenode. I didn't find any instances of
freenode or snoonet in my .irssi/config file so I'm not sure what that
was all about.

How do you have your networks configured in your ~/.irssi/config file?

I also use irssi and do not have this issue.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

{
    address = "irc.freenode.net";
    chatnet = "freenode";
    port = "6667";
    password = "fake_password";
    use_ssl = "no";
    ssl_verify = "no";
    },

and snoonet I'm just typing:

    /connect irc.snoonet.com

How are you defining your 'freenode' chatnet?

Mine looks like this.

        servers = (
        { address = "irc.freenode.net";
          chatnet = "IRCnet";
          port = "6667"; },

        { address = "irc.prankdose.com";
          chatnet = "dose";
          port = "6667"; }
        );

And then for my chatnets

        chatnets = {
          IRCnet = {
            type = "IRC";
            max_kicks = "4";
            max_msgs = "5";
            max_whois = "4";
            max_query_chans = "5";
          };

          dose = {
            type = "IRC";
            max_kicks = "4";
            max_msgs = "5";
            max_whois = "4";
            max_query_chans = "5";
          };
        };


The chat nets are default though.

Mine are pretty much defaults too. I set it up over a year ago and
haven't changed anything in a long time so I'm not sure why it's
suddenly acting funny.

      Rizon = {
        type = "IRC";
        max_kicks = "1";
        max_msgs = "3";
        max_whois = "30";
      };
      LinkNet = {
        type = "IRC";
        max_kicks = "1";
        max_msgs = "3";
        max_whois = "30";
      };
      SILC = { type = "SILC"; };
      abjects = { type = "IRC"; };
      freenode = { type = "IRC"; };
      chat4all = {
        type = "IRC";
        nick = "Leafer";
        username = "farded";
        realname = "farded";
      };

do:

    cp ~/.irssi ~

and then

    rm ~/.irssi

See if you config directory is fucked.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
24cal · 2015-07-04 05:25

errr....maybe do:

    cp ~/.irssi ~/Desktop

:) Can't copy your config directory to the same location hahah

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Still won't let me use the same name on the two different servers. I
logged into freenode, no problem. Logged into snoonet, tried "/nick
farded" and got "is already in use."

As soon as I used "/msg nickserv ghost farded password" in Snoonet,
I'm kicked from Freenode again.

Try another IRC client to try a reproduce?

This is bizarre man.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
farded · 2015-07-04 12:52

I tried xchat and got the exact same result. But I did notice that
both clients were connecting to irc.snoonet.com as a freenode server
and labled it snoonet.

Finally actually went to snoonet and found the server is
irc.snoonet.**org** . For some strange reason, irc.snoonet.com was
just connecting me to freenode. I didn't find any instances of
freenode or snoonet in my .irssi/config file so I'm not sure what that
was all about.

Moral of the story: always at least glance at the wall of helpful
text.

Ha! Well I can't say I've never done anything silly.

Good stuff man, glad you're back online.

See you on the channels.
