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:

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.

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.

did you use the address us.dal.net as i suggested above ? could be a problem since thats the only address my bot uses

[ComputerTech]

ALSO this may sound stupid but how do you know the bot is NOT connecting to dalnet
try /whois botnick

and

have you did /msg botnick hello yet to it or is this bot brand new?

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

[willyw]

[simo]

oh i must have overlooked that willyw

[ComputerTech]

why not just telnet the bot and set console +r and watch whats wrong
that what you can see if it's connection problem for the limit of the ip or something else.


ps simo not caesar it's willyw
