demond (in his own lovable way) is referring to the following:
Help us to help you (and try to help yourself)

Your hostname is set as below:

# If you're using virtual hosting (your machine has more than 1 IP), you
# may want to specify the particular IP to bind to. You can specify either
# by hostname or by IP. You may also want to set the hostname here if
# Eggdrop has trouble detecting it when it starts up.
#set my-hostname "virtual.host.com"
#set my-ip "99.99.0.0"

For a Windrop you set both to your actual hostname & IP as they appear on IRC.

Obviously I don't understand or can't find what Alchera said.

Posting in giant bold letters doesn't make you any tougher on the internet.

But anyways, I'll figure it out myself then. Keep being 'tuff! The internet is serious business!

it is great indeed, for people who actually bother to
READ WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ON THE SUBJECT
but since you are obviously in write-only mode, I personally won't bother anymore

I must be, since I don't see where in that post it tells me how to get my bots hostname.

Great support.

I can't find the hostname...

I just started a new .conf file and I'm getting the same problem. It starts up, says it's in a channel, yet it's not there.

To telnet to the bot, you simply enter its hostname and port (as specified by the 'listen' command in the config file) in your telnet client. You will be asked for your nickname and password on connecting. Once connected, you'll be at the console and on the party line just as you would if you'd opened a DCC session. Telnet is particularly useful if you need to connect to the bot but aren't able to DCC to it (e.g. when the bot isn't on IRC).

If the text output appears incorrectly during the telnet session (e.g. each new line is indented by the length of the previous line), you may need to enable some type of "new line mode" in your telnet client's options. In PuTTY, for example, you would enable Implicit CR in every LF under Terminal.

I suggest you recheck your configuration carefully:
Setting up an Eggdrop

I did that about 3 times already. But right, I'll do it again.

Also, can you tell me how I can Telnet to my bot and see where it goes? Maybe that can help me narrow down the problem in the .conf file.

When I /whois or /msg him, it says cannot find nick/channel (Like in the image I posted). So I assume he's not connected to my server but connected somewhere (Since it says CHANNEL: 1).

Then I suggest you do a /whois on your bots nick and see if it has indeed connected. If it has then you better recheck your channel configuration in the conf.

A Windrop?

# This is the bot's server list. The bot will start at the first server listed,
# and cycle through them whenever it gets disconnected. You need to change these
# servers to YOUR network's servers.
#
# The format is:
# server[:port[:password]]
#
# Both the port and password fields are optional; however, if you want to set a
# password you must also set a port. If a port isn't specified it will default to
# your default-port setting.
set servers {
irc.efnet.nl:6667
irc.avalonworks.ca:6666
irc.efnet.net

That's what I have mine set to. Seems right.
