IRC on Kopete

[Arthur Pemberton]

I just can't get IRC to work for me on Kopete. It keeps cutting off when 
it gets to: "Checking ident"

So thigns looks like this:

-- NOTICE from : *** Looking up your hostname...
-- NOTICE from : *** Found your hostname, welcome back
-- NOTICE from : *** Checking ident
-- You are now marked as Offline.
-- NOTICE from : *** Looking up your hostname...
-- NOTICE from : *** Found your hostname, welcome back
-- NOTICE from : *** Checking ident
-- You are now marked as Offline.


However Chatzilla connects just fine to IRC

Please advise.
