IP change preventing me from logging in?

Post by EnglishExpress »

Hey all. I am on a BNC with my friend, and it seems everytime my IP changes I can't log in & my friend has to add my IP to allowed hosts.

I get the message "DNS pool" - So I don't actually get the opportunity to type in my password unless the above has been done.

Anyway this can be solved wihout my IP being added all the time?

Host Allows - Want to restrict access to certain IPs or certian IP masks? This is the place to put those permissions. psy will disallow access to anyone not listed here. To allow anyone (provided they have the correct username and password) set this to "*".

This is done when you configure psybnc. Here is another way:

/addallow [IP or mask] --- lets whatever IP or mask you specify connect to the bnc. IPs can be definite, ie. 12.12.12.34 or masked, 12.12.12.*. You can also use hostnames and masks such as *.myisp.com.
