Connection Issues

Pyr3x · Post by **Pyr3x** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 5:44 pm

I am trying to connect a bot to: irc.synirc.net

I can get it to connect for a short period of time and then it suddenly disconnects.

When trying to join channels it states (trying), often the end result is it will ether not join the channel or joins after an extended delay.

Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

I was able to get in the channels and and can verify this using my mirc client.

However, when I use .status it reports that it's not in the channels.

It states that it is (trying).

Any ideas?

"trying" or "pending"?

I am reminded of this thread and even it doesn't come to a solid conclusion.

What version of bot are you using?

Sounds like a mismatched net-type setting. What you've set there? Could you post the IRCd net-type, and IRCd version when you connect? Example:

irc.****.com Unreal3.2.8.1 iowghraAsORTVSxNCWqBzvdHtGp lvhopsmntikrRcaqOALQbSeIKVfMCuzNTGj

I just logged in there.
Is this the info you needed?

Your host is moonlight.se.eu.synirc.net, running version Unreal3.2.8.1

My bot is: 1.6.20

I compiled it with: TCL 8.4

Running on: Ubuntu Server

It says "trying" not "pending".

Code: Select all

# What is your network?
#   0 = EFnet
#   1 = IRCnet
#   2 = Undernet
#   3 = DALnet
#   4 = +e/+I/max-modes 20 Hybrid
#   5 = Others
set net-type 5

Code: Select all

#set opchars "@"
set opchars "~&@%"

^ is that right?

Won't even join the channel today:

Code: Select all

Ok.
Tnx for reply.
With the info you are providing, perhaps someone else can discern something.

#   2 = Undernet
#   3 = DALnet
#   4 = +e/+I/max-modes 20 Hybrid
#   5 = Others
set net-type 5

Code: Select all

#set opchars "@"
set opchars "~&@%"

Not sure.
I can say that some bots that I have, on ircd running version Unreal3.2.8.1
all use:
net-type 3

Take that for what it is worth.

Experiment.. see if it makes a difference.

You have checked... the bot is not banned on these channels... right?

Other ideas, just for fun, to try:

Try some other channels. Just make a new channel, and see if bot can join it.

Try a completely different network. Again, just make a new channel, and have bot join it.

See what happens.

I assume that if you were seeing anything that might be a clue, in the partyline, you would have mentioned it by now.

Perhaps you'd see more, if you enable raw logging in eggdrop.conf, then in partyline do : .console +r

I'm sorry that I am not able to provide a simple answer for you, and I hope somebody else comes along that can.

Set my network type to: 3

Still wont join the channel.

I can see it on the network however.

Secondly: .console +r says nothing important...

Edit:

I tried another server and got the same effect.

Let it be known that I compiled this version because the Ubuntu package I got from apt0get was doing the same thing. What within my environment would cause this?

That's weird, some users set 'net-type' to 3 and worked. Did you '.restart' the bot after the change? If you did, then try with setting 'net-type' to 0 and then do a '.restart' and let us know the results.

I did reload after and same results.

I tried type 0 and it joined the server and failed to join channel.

it seems to have something to do with ubuntu I went and purchased a cheap shell for testing and my config works just fine. any ideas?

Reload (rehash) or restart?

Ok this is driving me crazy!

I can get ONE bot to connect to the iRC and it works as expected, responds to DCC etc...

I did this by un-commenting and setting the NAT setting in the config.

OK, now this would seem like something I can now work with. I clone the config and simply change all the misc name related attributes, pid, log etc

I then try and run a 2nd bot and it goes back to acting like it did in the past! Won't join channel, won't respond to DCC but joins irc server!

I tried stopping the working bot and only starting the 2nd bot and it still fails!

I start the working bot and it connects perfectly!

what the hell is going on here.... It's not conflicting port bindings I checked that....

Help..
