If you like to test it, send me a PM

Does anyone else get a "No Ident response" error when trying to connect o SE.AmigaWorld.net?

@cygnusEd

Did this updated plugin work and is it available anywhere for download?

Cheers

link not working?

Seems like when I install Wookie for the first time, everytime. I enter my details and try to connecto to SE.AmigaWorld.net. I aways get:

*** No Ident response

Followed by conenction timed out etc.

Yet, on my X1000 machine it works. This X5000 has a new installation of AmigaOS. Last time, the same thing happened and it - after some time - just magically started working.

Does anyone know the cause?

For amigans and os4depot:

Hi @origin

Thanks for the link, I will consider it for sure. But, I wanted to know what the root cause is for this.

Well, the root cause is not known. But I can login in now. Guess I just have to wait for some time before logging in.

X5000:


You can see the issue I have with this. I do not understand it. Anyone can help?

My X1000 just works. Here is the X1000 output:



The difference is only in my usernames.

What the hell...

Yeah, very, very odd.

It seems like on my X5000 it is random as to when it will connect to that channel.

One time it decides to work, the other it does not.

Really bizaar.

Okay, I rebooted the X5000 and now it connected again.

What can this possibly mean?

On the cold turn-on of the machine, I opened up some programs. Then, I opened up the IRC client and it would not connected. Then, I rebooted and the first thing I opened was the IRC client and it connected.

Something odd going on here.

Is this only with Wookie or also with AmIRC?

So far, I only tested Wookie. I was wondering if another client existed. I will try AmiIRC.

Although, for the first time ever, it just happened on my X1000 too. Unless right now: at this time, the server is not accessible, then the same problem on the X1000.

This does not seem to be a problem on my end.

Anyway, I will see what happens with AmiIRC.

Woah, in the exact same session (as in, in the same X1000 WB session without restarting since my previous post) I download AmIRC from aminet (I am presuming that is the only one available and it is the 68k version). I installed AmIRC.

Since I wanted to know what the server address was for amigas, I re-opened Wookie just to check. While I was there, I decided to connect and.. guess what... now it connected.

It is not reasonable that it is an issue on my end, and yet, I am the only one who is rasing this issue.

===

BTW, during a session when I could connected with a user on there, I did try other servers, and I could get into those every time.

Latest version of AmIRC is on http://www.amirc.org/download but yes, its m68k.

Well since using amirc, have not had a problem.

Hi @rjd324,

I've had exactly the same issue with Wookie as you did and managed to solve this. Version of Wookie I was running was 2.11 from the OS4Depot, but after some digging, I found beta version here:

https://wookiechat.amigaworld.de/

Just follow the link to DL beta Wookie_OS4_2_12b15.lha and you should be good after that. I had to do the clean install: deleted the old drawer, installed new 2.11 and then copied files from the beta archive into this drawer. Connected right away!

I hope this helps!
