hi!

i'm sure you're rolling your eyes to see this question again, but please try to explain it one more time.
i tried to use the search engine, but i just coudln't find anything useful.
here's my problem:
if i try to connect to any IRCnet server with my eggdrop, it says:

trying server irc.sth.net:6667
DNS resolved irc.sth.net to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
net: connect! sock 7
connected to irc.sth.net
net: eof! (write) socket 7 (Connection refused,111)
disconnected to irc.arnes.si

i managed to connect to some servers that weren't ircnet

thank you for your help

MG

I'm not sure if I'm writing anything that will help you or not.
But well, about an year or so ago, I remember something like this came up, and I think the reply was that IRCnet servers break eggdrop that way.

And then, there was a solution as well, only I don't remember what it was.
All the best though, someone or the other will reply.

thanx for your replies!

but the problem remaines. i'm running it from a shell account, and i can connect to anything but an ircnet server. i set the vhost, but could it be that that vhost is rejected by ircnet?

thanx again

It's not a vhost that is not permitted or anything like that. It depends majorly on the TLD. (i.e .com .net, etc)
Every vhost has a TLD associated with it. And IRCnet lets users local to their country connect to a server only in that country.

Like denmark users can connect only to irc.ircnet.dk (denmark server), and Indian people cannot.

First check if you have local country vhosts, for instance:
ircnetsucks.de (the TLD is .de, which means it's a country TLD, in this case, it's denmark's)
you.do.the.math.in (TLD= .in, country= India)

Go to IRCnet's server page and see which server is local to your shell, or see if your shell has country TLD vhosts, and then try connecting to that country.

You know what I mean? I'm sure I'm not very clear but you get the drift.

Did it work?

Well, no it didn't

I found out that my shell account is located in finland, but i can't connect my bot to any finish server. any other suggestions?

thanx

yes, it gives the same error.

Try connecting to ircnet using an IRC client on your shell. If it works you know it's an eggdrop issue. If it doesn't work you know it's something you need to discuss with your shell server's admin.
