If these are *nix boxes, do a quick
nmap -sT IPhere -p7777 -I
nmap -sU IPhere -p7777 -I

I'd also suggest firing up ethereal before establishing a connection to
the port and see what the server is responding with, might provide some
clues.

Also as a quick note, a google search for "1 has joined." came up with
virtually nothing except IRC references.

Good luck with the hunt!
