Hello Peopz

I was installing the newest version of Eggdrop. If i start the bot, the Server give me that error:

Eggdrop v1.6.20 (C) 1997 Robey Pointer (C) 2010 Eggheads
[00:32:05] --- Loading eggdrop v1.6.20 (Sun Jan 23 2011)
[00:32:05] * Hostname self-lookup failed. Please set 'my-ip' in the config file.

But in my config file isn't my-ip Active. I found here a other Post with this Problem, but this user had ircstats or some thing.

Here is my Config File: http://pastebin.com/Khr7ixvL

Just set my-ip to your host's IP

Example: set my-ip "192.34.86.21"

I testet your Tip but it didn't work. That doesn't work with my outgoing Ip and with my local ip. Both is the same error.

remove the "#" in front of the set my-ip and give it a try.
i had the same problem once or twice and it started when the set my-ip line was the first line in the config file.
example:
set-my-ip "192.168.0.10"
admin ...
username...
