Problems with starting eggdrop..

dbz-gt · Post by **dbz-gt** » Sun Feb 02, 2003 3:13 pm

Joh, I have some problems with starting.

Let me explain some things before to start.
I started before eggdrop on windows and it worked fine.

But know I have installed Linux Red Hat 7.3 and it works fine, except eggdrop

So I asked some people on IRC (they know a lot of stuff about linux and eggdrop) and I gave one of them telnet access on my PC so he can make my eggdrop, but he told me he can't fix this problem.
He says that he ever runned eggdrop on Red Hat 7.2 and that worked fined, except on this red hat (7.3) so it could be a bug.

Error is:
[19:54] * Hostname self-lookup failed. Please set 'my-ip' in the config file.
[19:54] Attempt to kill un-allocated socket 0 !!

And my-ip is setted in the .conf.
I really tryed everything, WAN-ip, localost,127.0.0.1, ip of router...

Somebody can help me?

Localhost is a hostname.
127.0.0.1 is a loopback address.

Neither of these are suitable.

The WAN-ip is bound to the interface of the router, and not your machine

The router IP is the router and not your machine.

You need to use the IP address given to your machine.

This is usualy an IP starting 192.168.

I know.. I tryed that as well.
My routers ip is: 192.168.2.1

But didn't work as well

You should not use your routers IP. This has allready been stated.

What internal IP has been assigned to the machine you are running eggdrop on.

He?
I don't understand what you mean.
I only have this ip that begins with 192.x:
192.168.2.1

And that's the router
My own IP is:
213.10.107.84

Every TCP/IP node on a network, being the internet, or a LAN, has a unique IP address.

Becuase ISP's only route IP address to your network, you are using a router, to give multiple connections.

The router has 2 IP addresses. 1 internal IP most likely in the range "192.168.", and a External IP, which is what you are seen as on the internet.

On your network, each machine, will also have a IP address, withi the same subnet as your router, IE, starting 192.168.

We need to know the IP address of the machine, before we can go anywhere.

Oke, I will give you all the answers.

My ISP gave me the ip: 213.10.107.84
My routers internal IP: 192.168.2.1

IP-PC 1 (my PC): 192.168.2.100
IP-PC 2 (other PC): 192.168.2.101

That's all I know.

and a External IP, which is what you are seen as on the internet.

About that.. I think that's what you mean the IP that I get from the ISP, so that's 213.10.107.84

Those 4 IP's are the only IP's I know.

Here is some log of my router when I put him on and my PC as well:

You should never consider the IP given to your router (the 213. one) as the IP of your internal machines.

This is simply not true. It is assigned to the router and nothing more.

I aint sure out of the 2 PC's, which one is running the eggdrop, so I will take a stab in the dark,, but the theory applies.

If it's running on PC1, then you set my-ip to "192.168.2.100". You should then set nat-ip to "213.10.107.84".

Hm.. I am sorry, not working

testbot.conf:
set my-ip "192.168.2.100"
set nat-ip "231.10.107.84"

Error:[dbzgt@localhost eggdrop]$ ./eggdrop -m testbot.conf

Same problem :'(
Are you on IRC? If yes, can you tell me which channel so I can give you telnet access on my PC, maybe you can see it from there better.

I am on irc.Quakenet.org with the nickname "dbz-gt", so just query me if you have time.

Have you tried setting the value of my-hostname to "localhost"?

gumbydammit · Post by **gumbydammit** » Mon Feb 03, 2003 12:09 pm

or try using set nat-ip and comment out my-hostname and my-ip

ppslim · Post by **ppslim** » Mon Feb 03, 2003 12:22 pm

the nat-ip setting isn;t used in the binding of IP addresses.

It's used to sent out to IRC clinet, to make sure they attempt to connect to the correct address.

The self-lookup fail is my-ip and my-hostname related.

dbz-gt · Post by **dbz-gt** » Mon Feb 03, 2003 1:11 pm

Yup, I already tryed my-hostname "localhost"
Didn't work as well

Can't you help me from telnet/ssh?
So you can try it faster... maybe it works on your way.

set my-ip "192.168.2.100"
set nat-ip "231.10.107.84"
set my-hostname "localhost"

That's what I tryed.

Actually trying what gumbydammit said worked for me...

or try using set nat-ip and comment out my-hostname and my-ip

Code: Select all

# If you have a NAT firewall (you box has an IP in one of the following
# ranges: 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255, 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255,
# 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 and your firewall transparently changes your
# address to a unique address for your box) or you have IP masquerading
# between you and the rest of the world, and /dcc chat,/ctcp chat or
# userfile sharing aren't working, enter your outside IP here. Do not
# enter anything for my-ip or my-hostname if you use this setting.
set nat-ip "213.10.107.84"

it says it right there: "Do not enter anything for my-ip or my-hostname if you use this setting."
i would at least try it...
