I am unable to join IRC channels from within emacs

I'm not sure what isn't working, but I run M-x irc and it brings up the usual irc buffer with a lengthy intro message. It sets my nick to my username, which isn't my irc registered nick so I then issue the command /nick ActualNick and then it tells me to identify, as expected. But then, I issue the command /msg NickServ identify <passwd> and nothing happens! After that I can type /me and see that my nick is ActualNick but nothing else - why would this be happening?

Solution

  • You may try starting IRC using C-u M-x irc. This will prompt for connection details.
