it might not connect to some servers the way u put it...you also have no ident... most servers will not let you connect without a ident (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

Nice and neat commented coding lol :) Connected to most servers fine however I couldn't connect to quakenet with it, I tried changing the way it registers with ident etc but couldn't get it to work on qnet. It seemed to be registering fine, but would disconnect when it joined. Is there a reason for this? (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
everytime i send a message it says it doesnt recommend command. even when i actually want to send a command liek /join i get the same error (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

It sends in RAW IRC commands

I suggest breaking up strData into an array denoted by the space character and checking param 0 for PING (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
join is simple ws.SendData "JOIN " & IRCCHANNEL & " :" & vbcrlf That is the protocol for joining a chan (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
oh and sorry for double post but just a comment bout this client. It is just a shell of what a functional IRC client needs to be. Congrats tot he aurthor for publishing I wish I had an example like this when I was learning.

hi @all - i've the same problem - i can join/part channels, can change my nick and read what everybody write in a chan, but i can't write by myself! what shall i do?
greets (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
To send a message into a channel use the PRIVMSG command, but instead of a username, type the channel. Example: sIRC.SendData "PRIVMSG " & sChan$ & " " & sMsg$ & vbCrLf
The data received by the server would be, just for an example: PRIVMSG #Example the message (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
