Eggdrop 1.8.0 won't connect to dalnet

Post by CP1832 »

Hi guys:

Sorry to bother but my eggdrop 1.8.0 isn't able to connect from a shell to dalnet. This same eggdrop (using the exact same .conf file) was connected to dalnet for a long time, however, the connection was dropped and now it can't reconnect. This is the error I'm constantly getting:

Code: Select all

[09:47:52] Trying server [irc.dal.net]:6667
[09:47:52] DNS resolved irc.dal.net to 170.178.184.34
[09:47:52] net: connect! sock 8
[09:47:52] Connected to irc.dal.net
[09:47:52] net: eof!(read) socket 8
[09:47:52] Disconnected from irc.dal.net
The same thing happens to every other port I try to connect to:

Code: Select all

set servers {
  irc.dal.net
  irc.dal.net:6660
  irc.dal.net:6661
  irc.dal.net:6662
  irc.dal.net:6663
  irc.dal.net:6664
  irc.dal.net:6665
  irc.dal.net:6666
  irc.dal.net:6668
  irc.dal.net:6669
  irc.dal.net:7000
  irc.dal.net:8000
  irc.dal.net:8001
  irc.dal.net:8002
  irc.dal.net:+6697
  irc.dal.net:+7000
  irc.dal.net:+7070
  irc.dal.net:+9999
}
If I modify the .conf file to connect to freenode, it works like a charm. What else can I do / check?

One way to investiage more -

Start bot with -n switch :

./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf

so that it doesn't automatically go into background. You'll be able to see it, as it attempts to log into the irc server.

Hopefully, you'll be able to see something that helps.

Another idea -

Does your shell have irssi installed on it?

irssi is a text based irc client. Launch it, and try to log in on Dalnet with it, just for the heck of it. Just to see if it, from that same shell, can connect to Dalnet.

Just type:
irssi
on the shell command line, and see what happens. If it is installed on the system, it'll run. If not, you'll get an error.

um i always use us.dal.net port 6667
just saying try us.dal.net always works for me for my bots ;)


oh and what do you have this set to

Code: Select all

# What is your network?
#   0 = EFnet
#   1 = IRCnet
#   2 = Undernet
#   3 = DALnet
#   4 = +e/+I/max-modes 20 Hybrid
#   5 = Others
set net-type 

it better be 3 for dalnet

0 is for freenode type networks and 3 for dalnet type networks ;)

My net-type is indeed set to 3

I tried to connect to dalnet and it seems there's some issue as I'm getting the following error:

Code: Select all

22:19 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.dal.net
22:19 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.dal.net [194.68.45.50] port 6667
22:19 -!- Irssi: Connection to irc.dal.net established
22:19 -!- Irssi: warning Connection reset by peer
22:19 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to irc.dal.net
How can I figure out more about this error?

I don't know.
I was expecting for there to be more to the error message - to help give us some clues.
I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been something like : too many connections from your ip , if your bot is on a popular shell.

If you've tried it with the bot, using -n switch, you could then take it to an Eggdrop channel and ask there. You could pastebin whatever eggdrop shows you, and perhaps somebody might have some ideas. Freenode irc network is good. And the channel is: #eggdrop .

You could also - as an irssi problem - find some "help" type channel on Dalnet itself, and ask there.

I'm sorry that I don't have a direct answer for you.

When you do find it, please let us know what it was - it might be helpful info for somebody else someday.

Just remembered :

Besides watching it try to log in, when launched with the -n switch, you might want to experiment with the logging flags too.

They are listed in the eggdrop.conf that came with your bot.

Perhaps adding some would get it to log more, and you might spy a clue in the log.

and if you like come chat with us at #eggdrop dalnet or my channel on dalnet #computertech123

I have already asked on the #eggdrop channel on freenode but I haven't received any answer.

Here's my log settings, just in case:

Code: Select all

# This setting allows you the logging of raw incoming server traffic via
# console/log flag 'r', raw outgoing server traffic via console/log mode 'v',
# raw botnet traffic via console/log mode 't', and raw share traffic via
# console/log mode 'h'. These flags can create a large security hole,
# allowing people to see user passwords. This is now restricted to +n users
# only. Please choose your owners with care.
set raw-log 1

# This creates a logfile named eggdrop.log containing private msgs/ctcps,
# commands, errors, and misc. info from any channel.
logfile bdhorstvwx * "logs/dalnet"

# This creates a logfile named lamest.log containing joins, parts,
# netsplits, kicks, bans, mode changes, and public chat on the
# channel #lamest.
logfile m * "logs/private-dalnet"

The eggdrop keeps trying to reconnect, constantly, and the /whois doesn't find it.

I have also tried to connect to us.dal.net 6667 to the same results on both eggdrop and irssi:

Code: Select all

17:07 -!- Irssi: Looking up us.dal.net
17:07 -!- Irssi: Connecting to us.dal.net [154.35.138.250] port 6667
17:07 -!- Irssi: Connection to us.dal.net established
17:07 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to us.dal.net

i believe it might be cause a free shell is used like xshellz wich uses the same IP and it has been seen as connection flood from same IP thats why it might be why it keeps disconnecting

Although I also expected that it would clearly say so.
