NOTICE- *** Looking up your hostname...
[07:34] -NOTICE- *** Checking Ident
[07:34] -NOTICE- *** Found your hostname
[07:34] -NOTICE- *** No Ident response
[07:34] -NOTICE- *** Your forward and reverse DNS do not match, ignoring hostname. [66.79.10.217 != 216.127.66.33]

but it still connects , when i connect to the one i want it gives this erro
Trying server irc.gamesnet.net:6667
[07:35] Connected to irc.gamesnet.net
[07:35] -ERROR from server- Closing Link: RdN-Serv[216.127.66.33] by Daemon.IL.US.GamesNET.net (USER: Bad username)
[07:35] Disconnecting from server.
The net you are trying to connect uses hybrid ircd. Your problem can be solved easily. Just change real name of bot to "test" and try if it helps. Prolly ircd blocks connection because real name of bot matches X-lines, get on that server and do /quote stats x if it's not blocked you will see which real names are forbidden. It's spam bot protection. Common blocked masks in rl are:
*www.* *htpp//:* *sex* *invite*.
Hope it helps
In the first case, this is the correct behaviour of the IRC server, allthough, most servers do not give this information. It's not an error, it's more of a imformation notice.
It's when you connect to a IRC server, and the IRC server, does it's DNS checks.
The order of this is unknown. But it still applies the other way around. The IP's and hosts below, while not accessable from the internet, they are real within my LAN.
First, it will do a DNS query on the IP address you are connecting from.
IE 192.168.254.10. On my network, it returns 10-phil-dhcp.c-r.lan.
It will then do a DNS query on the hostname.
IE 10-phil-dhcp.c-r.lan. On my network it returns 192.168.254.10
However, on the system your eggdrop is connecting from, one of the queries does not match. IE the IP returns this.host.com, but DNS query on this.host.com returns a different IP.
In this instace, the IRC server will diplay your IP address rather than the v-host in a whois/who.
For the second error, you need to set the value of username in your config file, to a single word, between 1 and 8 characters long, using only letters and numbers.
Message to the great coders and the ones who kindly help without any rudeness or sarcasm!! YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!!!! well it worked i had the username to RdN-Serv and i guess it was confliting as being a username so i put profiler as the username and kabam, i got on the server. well thx once again for all your help !!
