Jump error? (1.6.8)

It seems that when a numeral appears in the beginning of a server address, the eggie can't figure it out.

Example:

[17:37] #jestrix# jump irc2.lightning.net 6667
[17:37] Jumping servers......
[17:37] Trying server irc:6667
[17:37] Failed connect to irc (DNS lookup failed)

However, if I jump to irc.carrier1.net.uk, it works fine. Anyone else encounter this problem? Or is it just some random nuance that affects only me? :wink:

--if it matters:
eggdrop v1.6.8 - Linux 2.2.19-6.2.1 - TCL 8.3.1

IP address: 207.45.69.68
Host name: irc2.lightning.net

TraceRoute to 207.45.69.68 [irc2.lightning.net]

Hop (ms) (ms) (ms) IP Address Host name
1 0 0 0 216.191.147.1 -
2 0 0 0 216.191.195.33 solutions-sherweb.p2p.attcanada.ca
3 Timed out -

Trace aborted.

Looks like that server has a problem with its DNS resolution and routing, so I would say this isnt the bots fault as it relies on DNS to look up the IP no.

This is not a bug, rather the way you have placed you servers in the config file.

The "unable to resolve DNS" issue, is because it's only looking at the port name, not the hostname.

To fix this, I sugest you re-edit your config file, and place a ":" in the correct place.

ppslim: this is independent of the config file - I am attempting a jump through the partyline by:

.jump irc2.lightning.net

even if I specify a port, whenever I attempt to jump to this particular server, it tells me it is attempting to connect to "irc:6667"

however, i just edited my conf file and added in irc2.lightning.net in the server list. Now it jumps with no problem. But shouldn't the jump command be independent of the server list, since according to eggdrop help:
jump [server [port [pass]]]
makes the bot jump to another server. if you don't specify a server, it will jump to the next server in its internal list (see 'help servers'). if you specify a server, it will jump to that server (default port is 6667), and if that server is not in the internal list already, it will add it. jumping servers ALWAYS makes the bot lose ops! be careful!
Basically, I'm wondering why adding the server to the conf made a difference. According to all the documentation I've read, it should not.

nothing wrong with 1.6.8's jump command...
