Hi everyone, I've done quite well so far on my own with my eggdrop bot, but I've encountered a problem I haven't been able to find after quite some time of searching around in this forum. So here it is:

My bot starts up but doesn't appear in my room, when I try to telnet to the bot puTTY says : "Trying to connect (with the default eggdrop IP)" after a minute or so the connection time's out.

I have my IP set to the vhost I want, but for some reason my bot has stopped trying to connect on that vhost. It did do it once, but I encountered another error that I've since fixed. *sighs*

Please help. Thanks in advance!

is your problem related with that one?

if yes, you should really investigate more before posting.

no, it's not related. I'm running -m and my bot is connected to the IRC server. I just can't telnet because my vhost's IP keeps setting to the default. And the default time's out, it won't connect.

well, if its really related to binding to wrong addresse, this would be very strange. Since unless something chances my-ip it doesnt get changed by itself and afaik eggdrop doesn't try to bind to 0.0.0.0 if my-ip fails.

hmm. So strange. The bot itself is 'working' but when I try to telnet to the bot it says:

"Trying 66.252.10.131..." then it time's out/unable to connect.

This address is my shell account's default IP... could it be a problem with my shell account?

have you tried starting the bot using the -nt switch so you can what goes on from the bot's partyline?

how do you define 'working'? Does it show up on IRC? Does it write logfiles? You are confusing, on one side you say the bot doesnt show up and the next post you say it is 'working'. What now?

sorry for being confusing. I don't mean too... it's the whole I'm-a-n00b thing. Anyway the -nt thing worked. Thanks! What happened was I didn't know how to properly close down the telnet connection I had the one time I opened it. So it stayed open. Since I already had a connection with the IP I wanted to use (via the first telnet connection) it wouldn't let me open another. Thanks for your help everyone!
