The simplest thing to do is choose another nick and keep doing that until you find one that's not in use. Then register it and enable "nick kill" so nobody else can use it on that chat net.
if you really want that particular nick, then add a symbol. For example, if the nick you want is JohnDoe, try JohnDoe~ or JohnDoe^ or JohnDo* or...well, you get the idea. To a computer, all four of those are entirely different.
It won't let you connect when the nick you've chosen is currently in use by somebody else on that server. Apparently, they disconnect so you're finally able to get on with the nick you want.
