Eggdrop not connecting anymore

Hi all

I've had an eggdrop running for some months.

Yesterday it pinged out and, since then, just cycles through its server list, always displaying the message: "Timeout: connect to abc.server.xyz" where "abc.server.xyz" is one of the servers on its list.

I've restarted but to no avail.

Any clues or suggestions as to what has changed/gone wrong?

Thanks

was the server lagged at the time, or maybe your shell was lagged ?

try to kill the bot, and start it again.

Thanks for that - I've just killed it and restarted but it still times out trying to connect. It's been like it for 24 hours now.

Could it be a shell problem i.e. shell lost IRC connection or such?

Wrong forum for this but...

Check your my-ip settings in your .conf .. It could be your shell provider got a new subnet and thus ip's possibly changed.
It could also be that the admin has null routed the ip you are using due to DDoS attacks, in which case you should use a different vhost/ip.

If this doesn't work, you should speak to your shell admin.

Hmm, how odd, this was showing on the eggdrop forum then vanished and reappeared here! Whatever. .

Yes, thank you for that, I shall check the Vhosts and also check with the shell provider to see if anything has changed.

UPDATE:

I removed the VHost the bot was using in My-IP as you suggested and it connected fine. The shell has obviously been messing with the VHosts.

Many thanks
