dns lookup failed

virtuoso · Post by **virtuoso** » Fri Jun 06, 2003 6:13 am

in my eggdrop.conf file i have :

set servers {
irc6.ngnet.it
}

STARTING BOT IN USERFILE CREATION MODE.
Telnet to the bot and enter 'NEW' as your nickname.
OR go to IRC and type: /msg Tentativo hello
This will make the bot recognize you as the master.

[11:41] === Tentativo: 2 channels, 0 users.
[11:41] main: entering loop
[11:41] Trying server irc6.ngnet.it:6667
[11:41] Failed connect to irc6.ngnet.it (DNS lookup failed)

how can i fix it ?

Is this a IPv6 server?

If so, you ahve to use the IPv6 IP address.

like this :

set servers {
"2001:6b8:1:0:210:83ff:fe35:2816"
}

but the output is :

[14:55] === Tentativo: 2 channels, 0 users.

[14:55] main: entering loop

[14:55] Trying server 2001:6

[14:56] Timeout: connect to 2001

Please follow the example given in eggdrop.conf distributed with eggdrop.

Code: Select all

set servers {
[ipv6:address::here]
}

Maybe the problem is, that the Ngnet tunnel has been down a while?

mine works again ... so retry ?

You may also note that HE tunnels no longer work for IRC.

They have been removed due to abuse and attacks on the router.

short Update:

Ngnet decided (due to lamers? ) to close server and ipv6 for all "foreign" customers ...so old tunnels outside .IT do not work anymore ..

I had the same problem before, but when i put the dns of the server in stead of the server name it worked.
