Bot connected, joined channel, but not on server?

I've got my eggdrop installed and config'd, and when running it shows that it is connected and joined to the channel, but it shows 0 users in the channel and when I whois the botname, it says there is no user online with that nick.

I have it configured to use server: irc.bob-omb.net
and I set the network type to 5/others

When I run the eggdrop from the shell, it shows connected

VALIS: 1 channels, 0 users.

How can it be connected but not showing online? I have not specified any other servers.

ok, so i was confused about the readout.. turns out the problem is DNS failed when trying to connect to server

looks like there are several topics about that issue.. already tried commenting out the dns module as mentioned in one of the topics- didn't work

tried installing version .19 instead of .20 and that didn't work either. In the process, also did a recompile when changing versions obviously

have tried commenting out the host/ip settings in the config

guess I will try to redo the config from scratch

thanks to willyw for assistance with getting me this far.. the -n option is a lifesaver
