(Cannot assign requested address)

[utahcon]

I have configured and I am not getting connected. Here is what I get when I run ./eggdrop -m myfile.conf -n

Code: Select all

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

[16:34] === utahbot: 1 channels, 0 users.
[16:34] main: entering loop
[16:34] Trying server irc.ninjakittens.org:6667
[16:34] DNS resolved irc.ninjakittens.org to 65.23.156.124
[16:34] Failed connect to irc.ninjakittens.org (Cannot assign requested address)

I am new to this but here is what I have tried.

I DMZed the machine, didnt work.
I setup port forwarding (used basics, is there more I should try?)
DNS is working as it is finding the IP

Thanks in advance!

# If you're using virtual hosting (your machine has more than 1 IP), you
# may want to specify the particular IP to bind to. You can specify either
# by hostname or by IP. You may also want to set the hostname here if
# Eggdrop has trouble detecting it when it starts up.
#set my-hostname "virtual.host.com"
#set my-ip "99.99.0.0"

I think your problem is the above; you have to assign a valid host and ip for eggdrop to be able to connect to an IRC network.

I already have that set.

I already have that set.

Miss the bit where I said "Valid"?
