[IRCServices] nsforcenickchange

[Craig McLure]

This is the answer you are looking for. U:Lines need the server NAME (ie, services.yournetwork.net) rather than the IP of the server.

So it should read something like:

ulines {
        services.yournetwork.net;
};

(Please note these are only EXAMPLES, don't try using the addresses i've used else that wont work either :))
