[Erc-discuss] ERC fails to reconnect after being disconnected

[Francis Moreau]

Hello,

First, I'm just a new IRC user so I'm probably missing some obvious...

I'm starting using erc on private IRC server, but I'm disconnected
quite often.

ERC try to reconnect to the server automatically but always fails
whereas if after being disconnected I restart ERC, then it works. And
it's not really convenient because it emits every second in the echo
area "Loggin failed...".

I tried to connect to the server 2 different ways:

,----
| (setq erc-server "xxxxxx")
| (setq erc-port 6667)
| (setq erc-nick "xxxxxx")
| (setq erc-password "xxxxx")
`----

or

,----
| (setq erc-password "xxxxxxx")
| (erc-ssl :server "xxxxxx" :port "6667" :nick "xxxxx" :password erc-password))
`----

but all of them give the same result.

BTW, is the field ":password" mandatory for the second case?

Could anybody give me some advices here ?

Oh yes I'm using ERC shipped with emacs 22.2

thanks
