Problems with starting eggdrop..

2003-02-04T18:07:36-04:00

Joh ppl!
Thanks for helping.. I don't need the help anymore

I just installed today RedHat 8.0 and it works fine here, without any my-ip, my-hostname, nat-ip or that kind of bull-[censored]

I think it was some kind of "bug" between RH7.3 and my router

I have now RH8.0 and it have a cool interface, so thanks for helping, you people just RULE with helping!!

wierd problem

2003-02-04T14:48:49-04:00

here is what my eggdrop uses:

# 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"

Nothing is unselected, and starts from 2 pc's with the same conf, nothing changed

I have this atm:

Code:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs# that require network functionality will fail.127.0.0.1               localhost.domain localhost

And I changed it to:

Code:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs# that require network functionality will fail.127.0.0.1               localhost.domain localhost192.168.2.100           localhost.router homepc

Shell:
[root@localhost dbzgt]# hostname
localhost.localdomain
[root@localhost dbzgt]#

Oke and what should I put in the .conf??

Make sure what ever you have the boxes' hostname set to is in your /etc/hosts file.

ie do this:

1)

more /etc/HOSTNAME

it should be like:

MyBoxesHostName.MyDomain.com

2) edit your /etc/hosts and make sure you have lines liek this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.100 MyBoxesHostName.MyDomain.com MyBoxesHostName

I am behind a router, because we need 2 PC's on the internet

Anyway, I don't think the router is stopping the eggdrop because he is using a port that the router doesn't support.

The firewall of the router is off and of linux as well.

And even there is a firewall on the router, which port should I open? Except 6667 (IRC Network)

From what I gather you are behind a router. ?

So did you even forward the port that Eggy will be using to your router config of that computer??? good luck

or try using set nat-ip and comment out my-hostname and my-ip

Code:

# If you have a NAT firewall (you box has an IP in one of the following# ranges: 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255, 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255,# 10.0.0.0-10.255.255.255 and your firewall transparently changes your# address to a unique address for your box) or you have IP masquerading# between you and the rest of the world, and /dcc chat,/ctcp chat or# userfile sharing aren't working, enter your outside IP here. Do not# enter anything for my-ip or my-hostname if you use this setting.set nat-ip "213.10.107.84"

it says it right there: "Do not enter anything for my-ip or my-hostname if you use this setting."
i would at least try it...

Yup, I already tryed my-hostname "localhost"
Didn't work as well

Can't you help me from telnet/ssh?
So you can try it faster... maybe it works on your way.

set my-ip "192.168.2.100"
set nat-ip "231.10.107.84"
set my-hostname "localhost"

That's what I tryed.

the nat-ip setting isn;t used in the binding of IP addresses.

It's used to sent out to IRC clinet, to make sure they attempt to connect to the correct address.

The self-lookup fail is my-ip and my-hostname related.

Have you tried setting the value of my-hostname to "localhost"?

Same problem :'(
Are you on IRC? If yes, can you tell me which channel so I can give you telnet access on my PC, maybe you can see it from there better.

I am on irc.Quakenet.org with the nickname "dbz-gt", so just query me if you have time.

My ISP gave me the ip: 213.10.107.84
My routers internal IP: 192.168.2.1

IP-PC 1 (my PC): 192.168.2.100
IP-PC 2 (other PC): 192.168.2.101

You should never consider the IP given to your router (the 213. one) as the IP of your internal machines.

This is simply not true. It is assigned to the router and nothing more.

I aint sure out of the 2 PC's, which one is running the eggdrop, so I will take a stab in the dark,, but the theory applies.

If it's running on PC1, then you set my-ip to "192.168.2.100". You should then set nat-ip to "213.10.107.84".
