# that require network functionality will fail.

# If you're using virtual hosting (your machine has more than 1 IP), you
# may want to specify the particular IP to bind to. You can specify either
# by hostname or by IP. You may also want to set the hostname here if
# Eggdrop has trouble detecting it when it starts up.
#set my-hostname "virtual.host.com"
#set my-ip "99.99.0.0"

I think this might be your problem. Use either one or the other setting (not both). For "set my-hostname" the following might work:

Code:

set my-hostname "localhost"
