i am trying to create an irc client using a program called labview and not completely understanding how to interface to an IRC server using tcp/ip i'm having a few problems.

i can connect to the server but i get these errors

i type user i get

461 USER :Not enough parameters

i type nick i get

431 :No nickname given

i type nick tas and then nick again i get

431 tas :No nickname given

based on this i know i'm talking to the server.

but so far other than this i can't seem to do much.
i get this error most of the time

451 ???? :You have not registered


if someone could assist me in getting past the not registered problem i'm having that may answer alot of the questions i have.

thank you in advance for any help provided.

Google for, and read RFC 1459. That will give you a good deal of information on the format of the basic commands.

again thank you the info i was able to connect after i read that doc.
