Error From Server-(closing link 0.0.0.0) (ping time out)

[inferno]

Hi there, Iit been 2 weeks i am having this error and no one could help
till now on any irc network.....
I am trying to run eggdrop 1.6.15 on my machine that i am using right now (linux red hat 8.0) i have tcl ver 8.3
i can telnet normally to the eggdrop, and it connects to the server,
it says: found ur hostname got ident response, and finally it disconnects
and ends up with this error:"Error From Server-(closing link 0.0.0.0) (ping time out)"
i have tried all the dalnet servers, all came up with same error.
its very weird since i can connect normally to any server with an irc client
so i dont think the error is cuz of my connection....
Note that i am behind a NAT firewall , but i have well configurated the eggdrop or it woudnt connect at all....
If any1 can help i'll be very thankfull, cuz really i am desparated...NoOne
could solve my problem till now ....

just for the hell of it, open your eggdrop.conf and look for the nat settings.
there is a command line that is required for nat ips.

because you get the 0.0.0.0 error, it`s something on your side.

Also, i would suggest connecting to an EFnet server =]

the command line is

#set nat-ip "127.0.0.1"

if you uncomment this line, make sure to comment out the other
set my-ip

if that fails, enter your NAT ip only in set my-ip
