Force IRSSI to use a particular nick only and retry infinitely until it gets that

Hi,

I run IRSSI 24x7. I sometimes receive a message like "Irssi: No PONG reply
from server irc.freenode.net in 301 seconds, disconnecting" and when it
tries to reconnect, it says my nick already in use. After that, instead of
using "abcdefgi", it starts using "abcdefg1". It's annoying as I don't know
when it got changed.

I already have my nick specified in irssi config but still it starts using
a new nick. Why?

  fn = {
    type = "IRC";
    nick = "abcdefghi";
    autosendcmd = "/^msg nickserv IDENTIFY accessed";
  };

Is there anything that I can do about that? Thanks in advance.
