... and watch whats wrong ...
that what you can see ....

From an earlier post in here:

One way to investiage more -

Start bot with -n switch :

./eggdrop -n eggdrop.conf

so that it doesn't automatically go into background. You'll be able to see it, as it attempts to log into the irc server.

Hopefully, you'll be able to see something that helps.

I remembered saying it. I have not dug through the posts here, to remind myself if he every specifically stated that he'd tried it, and the result that he got.

i believe it might be cause a free shell is used like xshellz wich uses the same IP and it has been seen as connection flood from same IP thats why it might be why it keeps disconnecting

From a previous post here:

...
I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been something like : too many connections from your ip , if your bot is on a popular shell.

Although I also expected that it would clearly say so.

I don't know.
I was expecting for there to be more to the error message - to help give us some clues.
I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been something like : too many connections from your ip , if your bot is on a popular shell.

If you've tried it with the bot, using -n switch, you could then take it to an Eggdrop channel and ask there. You could pastebin whatever eggdrop shows you, and perhaps somebody might have some ideas. Freenode irc network is good. And the channel is: #eggdrop .

You could also - as an irssi problem - find some "help" type channel on Dalnet itself, and ask there.

I'm sorry that I don't have a direct answer for you.

When you do find it, please let us know what it was - it might be helpful info for somebody else someday.

I have already asked on the #eggdrop channel on freenode but I haven't received any answer.

Just remembered :

Besides watching it try to log in, when launched with the -n switch, you might want to experiment with the logging flags too.

They are listed in the eggdrop.conf that came with your bot.

Perhaps adding some would get it to log more, and you might spy a clue in the log.

Here's my log settings, just in case:

Code:

# This setting allows you the logging of raw incoming server traffic via# console/log flag 'r', raw outgoing server traffic via console/log mode 'v',# raw botnet traffic via console/log mode 't', and raw share traffic via# console/log mode 'h'. These flags can create a large security hole,# allowing people to see user passwords. This is now restricted to +n users# only. Please choose your owners with care.set raw-log 1# This creates a logfile named eggdrop.log containing private msgs/ctcps,# commands, errors, and misc. info from any channel.logfile bdhorstvwx * "logs/dalnet"# This creates a logfile named lamest.log containing joins, parts,# netsplits, kicks, bans, mode changes, and public chat on the# channel #lamest.logfile m * "logs/private-dalnet"

ALSO this may sound stupid but how do you know the bot is NOT connecting to dalnet
try /whois botnick

and

have you did /msg botnick hello yet to it or is this bot brand new?

The eggdrop keeps trying to reconnect, constantly, and the /whois doesn't find it.

did you use the address us.dal.net as i suggested above ? could be a problem since thats the only address my bot uses

this also is a great idea of willyw
i recommend doing that also along with using address us.dal.net port 6667

and if you like come chat with us at #eggdrop dalnet or my channel on dalnet #computertech123

I have also tried to connect to us.dal.net 6667 to the same results on both eggdrop and irssi:

Code:

17:07 -!- Irssi: Looking up us.dal.net17:07 -!- Irssi: Connecting to us.dal.net [154.35.138.250] port 666717:07 -!- Irssi: Connection to us.dal.net established17:07 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to us.dal.net

um i always use us.dal.net port 6667
just saying try us.dal.net always works for me for my bots

oh and what do you have this set to
Code:
# What is your network?#   0 = EFnet#   1 = IRCnet#   2 = Undernet#   3 = DALnet#   4 = +e/+I/max-modes 20 Hybrid#   5 = Othersset net-type 
it better be 3 for dalnet

0 is for freenode type networks and 3 for dalnet type networks

My net-type is indeed set to 3

Another idea -

Does your shell have irssi installed on it?

irssi is a text based irc client. Launch it, and try to log in on Dalnet with it, just for the heck of it. Just to see if it, from that same shell, can connect to Dalnet.

Just type:
irssi
on the shell command line, and see what happens. If it is installed on the system, it'll run. If not, you'll get an error.

I tried to connect to dalnet and it seems there's some issue as I'm getting the following error:

Code:

22:19 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.dal.net22:19 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.dal.net [194.68.45.50] port 666722:19 -!- Irssi: Connection to irc.dal.net established22:19 -!- Irssi: warning Connection reset by peer22:19 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to irc.dal.net

How can I figure out more about this error?
