Closing Link ... (Unauthorized connection)

Spunky · Post by **Spunky** » Mon Sep 30, 2002 10:12 pm

Hi there!

I have setup my eggdrop and I got a really big problem. Everytime I try to connect to an IRCnet server, I get the following message:

Closing Link: ASUKA2[unknown@216.127.xx.xx] (Unauthorized connection)

This happens at all IRCnet servers. I have set the following variables in the bot.conf:

set username "hereismybotname"
set my-ip "216.127.xx.xx"
set my-hostname "this.is.my.vhost.domain.com"

(of course the values above are entered correctly corresponding to my real data

the used vhost resolves to my-ip)

I got this config working about a year ago when I installed an eggdrop for a friend of mine but I cannot remember what I changed to get it working. I know that I had the same problem.

The eggdrop works on all major networks like QuakeNET, EFNet, ...

IRCnet is the only network which causes this problem (and THE network I'd like to use)

Thanks for your help!

Greets, Marcus.

Sounds to me like the server says your address is not authorized to connect to that server. Try another server or a diffrent vhost.

yes, local IRCnet servers allow local users, try vhost in domain *.net *.com *.org and connect bot to irc.stealth.net:6660 if you have vhosts for example in *.de domain you can try connecting to german servers (/links *.de *.de)

Thanks for the help

I have tried the irc.stealth.net:6660, but I still get the following error:

-ERROR from server- Closing Link: G3NeSiZ[unknown@216.127.xx.xx](Authentication failure!)

What I find strange is, that my hostname and vhost I entered in my config file are not displayed in that address G3NeSiZ[unknown@216.127.xx.xx].

set username "hereismybotname"
set my-ip "216.127.xx.xx"
set my-hostname "this.is.my.vhost.domain.com"

This should be all, shouldn't it? (of course with the proper values)

Anyway, I will try all servers from that great IRC server list (thx Nexus6), hopefully only one server allows access

No, the message is quite correct.

IRC severs work using IP's. The server will check against your hsotname after this.

OK, I didn't realize that

Thx!

Spunky, does your bot work now? What did you do?
