The registration referred to here is the standard IRC client registration--issuing NICK, USER, PASS if required, and responding to the anti-spoof PING. It has nothing to do with X or nick registration or anything like that. This is probably a problem with your client. You can double-check this by connecting to the server with telnet and issue commands similar to this: NICK aaron USER aaron ignored ignored :Aaron PONG <number> (After issuing the 'NICK' command, you should get a 'PING' from the client with a number; this is the number you should substitute for "<number>" above.) This *should* connect you with the server, and you should receive the MOTD and other connect messages immediately after this. From here, you can try "JOIN #test-channel" and ensure that you can join channels. Assuming all of this works as I have described, your problem is likely with your IRC client... -- Kevin L.
