Re: [cgiirc-general] Need help with CGI:IRC

Hi Jim...

Thanks for the suggestion. I had already tried that, and unfortunately it
doesn't work, because it doesn't change the user's host.

The /whois for the user now is:

PensC0701 is iv...@ca... * [467987bc] PensChat.com
PensC0701 on #penschatdotcomtest
PensC0701 using irc.shoutcast.com HELLO WORLD
PensC0701 actually using host 208.113.192.21
PensC0701 End of /WHOIS list.

The iv...@ca... is the user's address. And that IP
address (208.113.192.21) is not MY address, so it must be my web host's
(meaning anyone who signs on through the site would get that same address).
The part after the asterisk ([467987bc] PensChat.com) is just the username,
which you can't ban (that's what changed when I set "encoded_ip = 2").

So, the host didn't change doing this. I think I have to do what I quoted
from the advanced settings page... Thanks again Jim.

Ivan
