Having problems with connect

[bmaciag]

Config has been set up properly as far as I can tell. Removed the 'die' commands, enabled the blowfish encryption, as well as the dns module.

We set the irc server for irc.gamesurge.net:6667 in set servers.

We added a channel.

The bot claims it connects to the server, joins a channel with 0 users. Something is wrong however, because we do not see the bot. Even when we chnage the IRC server to an IP, or a different server on gamesurge (or any network), we get the same problem.

Any suggestions?

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

From other topic:

Well, you should run bot and then telnet to it.In telnet you'll see what error/problem bot have while he is connecting.You might need to change server-timeout ....

Just telnet to it and you'll see what eggdrop says

I did just try TELNET, but that also isnt working ... how do I login to my bot through telnet ? is it the "IP" of my dedicated box ? and what is the username / password ? or ports. ..

thanks

Yes, it's the ip of box and it's port which you set in conf at 'listen xxxx all' (xxxx is port you've set).If you are using this bot first time, then your username will be new.Bot will ask you what username and pass you want and then you can start using it ...

Another little trick .... On the shell: ./eggdrop -nt eggdrop.conf, this will put you in HQ mode and allow you to see what exactly is happening in real time.
