Help.. DNS Lookup Failed

DarkOne- · Post by **DarkOne-** » Wed Dec 19, 2001 6:18 am

Get this error when the bot is trying to connect to servers. I can do pings or go anywhere with the same machine. So I know its not a DNS issue with the computer - It will connect sometimes.. and I do have a linksys cable router but everything connects fine and it links the the bot net and shares user files

[01:14] Trying server Flanders.Be.Eu.Undernet.org:6660
[01:14] Failed connect to Flanders.Be.Eu.Undernet.org (DNS lookup failed)

I have the same problem with ircd daemon running on my system: I can connect to it with IRC-clients, I can ping this address, but the eggdrop can't connect to it. May be I should run named on my system?
Thanks, Xander.

I tried 192.168.1.1 and 127.0.0.1. No effect.
Maybe ircd need additional configuration?

Your getting off the topic, this isnt about ircd - and using IPs instead of hostnames is an option but like some Id like to know whats causing it - had to be eggdrop since the system can resolve DNS. Anyone have any ideas?

probably bad resolver libraries, which causes the dns module to be messed up. try unloading the dns module.

Thank you.. I will try this tonight. I was thinking maybe that was it. It started when I put the server behind a linksys router, possibly eggdrop doesnt like them. Again thanks for your help I will let everyone know if it works.
