Hi, Luis.

I would like to know if it is possible to use a domain name that I own (laffer.pt) as a hostname for the nick laffer.

In theory, yes. You would need to work with a hosting provider to assign an IP address to that hostname and setup reverse DNS on the IP. Then you would be able to connect to DALnet using the hosting provider's server/network. -- Ryan Smith <xpsycho@dal.net> Server Administrator (foxtrot.dal.net) and SRA The DALnet IRC Network PGP Fingerprint: 8A27 3349 2B43 D378 6349 8674 F13A D7BA C90E D44E
