...
it seems that the issue related to the server port and hostname

Did you discover this by using the -n switch?

Static channel's shouldn't be depreciated,

Why?

I use the channel blocks on my bots without issue.

Yes, it still works.

Also, what about:

Although, it's recommended to add at least 1 static/home channel.

Why is it recommended, and by whom?

Thanks.

Static channel's shouldn't be depreciated, I use the channel blocks on my bots without issue.

As for the above servers, you're supposed to use a colon : instead of a comma , and by stipulating the port, it overrides the default setting. You can also use the direct IP address instead of the hostname's, just to make sure it's connecting to where you want it.

Thanks @Get_A_Fix and @willyw for the great help and fast reply but the problem still there, it seems that the issue related to the server port and hostname

set servers {
irc.kalamngy.com,527
kalamngychat.com,52
}

Default port is 6667 but I'm not sure:

set default-port 6667

It seems the bot can't even reach the network ([20:09:35] ===

Another way to try to find out what is going on -

You are starting the bot like this:
./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf
correct?

Instead, try this:
./eggdrop -mn eggdrop.conf

The addition of the -n switch will keep the bot from going into the background. You will be able to see more of what is going on. Hopefully you will see something that will be a clue as to why bot is not logging into the server.

Side note:
With: ./eggdrop -h
it will give you list of all the switches, with brief descriptions.

I hope this helps.

It is? I didn't know that.

Here:
http://eggwiki.org/Eggdrop.conf
It says, "Adding channels via the config file is deprecated and discouraged."

If you start the bot, like you showed, are you able to telnet the IP the bot is using and the listen port from your *.conf file? This is usually where, on the partyline, you use the command's to add user's and channel's.

If you can telnet the bot, you should be able to add dynamic channel's without adding a static Channel Block to your *.conf file. Although, it's recommended to add at least 1 static/home channel.
To add a dynamic channel on partyline, type:

Code:

.+chan #channel

To add a static channel block to your *.conf file:

Code:

channel add #mychannel {    chanmode "+nt"    idle-kick 0    stopnethack-mode 0    revenge-mode 0    ban-type 2    ban-time 0    exempt-time 0    invite-time 0    aop-delay 1:1    need-op { }    need-invite { }    need-key { }    need-unban { }    need-limit { }    flood-chan 0:0    flood-deop 0:0    flood-kick 0:0    flood-join 0:0    flood-ctcp 0:0    flood-nick 0:0}channel set #mychannel -enforcebans +dynamicbans +userbans +dynamicexemptschannel set #mychannel +userexempts +dynamicinvites +userinvites -protectopschannel set #mychannel -protectfriends -statuslog -revenge -protecthalfopschannel set #mychannel -revengebot +dontkickops -autovoice -autoop -autohalfopchannel set #mychannel -bitch -secret -shared -greet -cycle +nodesynch

You can read about each function and setting within the original eggdrop.conf file, which should always be copied/edited/used to make your main bot(s).

You also need to make sure that once you start the bot (even if it's not in/on a channel) that you message it; /msg yourbot hello (to become a recognised owner).
