Hi,

I'm using a simple conf, but I can't connect to any irc server I try.

The bot's log says this:

[12:44] Trying server irc.uunet.nl:6667
[12:44] Failed connect to irc.uunet.nl (Permission denied)

what could be wrong?

PS. I'm using a shell.

Some IRC Servers require a speciffic ident to be set.
Check the IRC Network's website IF they have one, and read the FAQ there.

Bytheway, i tried to connect myself and i got this:

ERROR Closing Link: SpItHash[unknown@my.ip.net] (Unauthorized connection)

This means that the admins set their network some limits.
They don't allow anyone to connect..I guess its something like a private network.

Can't help you more with that. It's NOT an eggdrop issue and i am SURE.

I'm not so sure about that, I get the same error trying to connect to irc.netgamers.org:

[23:22] main: entering loop
[23:22] Trying server irc.netgamers.org:6668
[23:22] DNS resolved irc.netgamers.org to 195.149.21.43
[23:22] Failed connect to irc.netgamers.org (Permission denied)

First of all, I've connected to it with mIRC, Java, PHP and C++ bots, and I've never encountered this problem.
Second, this network actually allows bots.

But I can't get the eggdrop to connect to it, I'm pretty sure I did something wrong in the config file, and I've tried to do it a couple more times, added specific servers, IPs and stuff like that, I've tried different networks, but no luck, I get the (Permission Denied) no matter where I try.

check the my-ip and/or my-hostname settings in your conf file
make sure you have your bot using an allowed vhost
some shell companies block higher port (1025-65535) remote access from their default IP, so you have to make sure your bot is using an IP or hostname listed in their "public vhost" list
(this might not be your problem, I'm just giving you another "it could be")
