Wont Connect to irc server.........

Cam · Post by **Cam** » Sat Apr 03, 2004 5:39 pm

I am running Red Hat Linux 8.0, i am trying to run an eggdrop bot off my linux server. I have a Linksys router and my linux box has a lan ip. I am trying to connect the eggdrop to the Quakenet network. I have installed and configured the bot but it just doesnt want to connect to irc. It doesnt tell me it hasnt connected to irc, when i got to /msg "botname" hello just says no such nickname so i am assuming that it isnt connected to the network. What do i need to do?

Try to telnet with bot, so you will see what errors bot give you about connecting on server.

Once you make it into the partyline, type .console +s (then type .jump)
This will let you see the server errors.

Can i fully control the bot through telnet? Is this hard to setup?

Reading the information contained in the links off the homepage usually answers 90% of "n00b" questions. I suggest actually reading them, you might be pleasantly surprised.
