As i understand it, if you own both accounts, you could, in theory, just open up two xchat sessions, have one nickname in each, and access them that way.

Alternately set up two network profiles, uncheck use global information and set information for each seperately - this will let you use two different passwords, and autojoin both

However you will want to check if the server/network has a connection limit.

If you do not own these nicknames, and they are registered by someone else, you are out of luck.Nickserv will force change your name, as part of nick protection, if you do not authenticate with a password for that account.

  • set the second nick as your first alternate nick, naturally. First nick will fail, second nick will connect Jun 15, 2012 at 12:39
  • but passwords are different right ? so i have to set same password for both i think ?

  • Nope, you can /msg nickserv identify each. I wonder if you could, alternately set up two profiles with different per profile info instead... Jun 15, 2012 at 15:07
