Hi folks,

Avid user and admin of eggdrops for a long time, currently running 3 on my own OS X machine connected to my own locally hosted IRC server.

I've never tried to tinker with linking them before, so thought I'd give it a whirl. I must be missing something, though, as I'm getting an error or two - maybe you can help?

I've followed the guide at http://www.egghelp.org/enhance.htm - gone over it 3, 4 maybe even 5 times again just to make sure, but unfortunately I must be cocking something else up!

At the point of 'safe' (leaf) trying to connect to 'innit' (hub) I'm getting the following in safe's console:

Thanks a lot for your reply and offer of help.

Since you are running both bots on the same host, they have to use different ports. Try to make sure these are atleast 20 numbers apart.

* Edit your config-files, and change the listen commands so that each bot has it's own listening port.
* Alter the bot records to match the ports you selected above.

Hi there,

Thanks for this. It's interesting, as doing a .whois safe from innit, it's showing safe's listen port as 3333, but in safe's config...

listen 2222 all

Seems like this could be my problem? With a .whois innit from safe, that too shows 3333 but innit's config is...

listen 1111 all

Did updating the bot records to match the selected ports yield any different result?

Hi,

The bot configs do actually state different ports, as per my previous post. It's strange why the .whois results on both bots state the ports as 3333. They're not set as 3333 in their configs.

The .whois information shows the information stored within the bot record, not the port your eggdrop listens to..
Use the .botaddr command to update this information accordingly.

Any chance you can elaborate on that? I'm not entirely sure.

.botaddr isn't giving me much in party.

Cheers.

Sorry, had the commands mixed up. That should've been .chaddr
If I read your posts correctly, this should do the trick:
