No, I removed those
It's bugging me that you see no difference what so ever if I set my-ip or my-hostname...

Are either of the "my-ip" or "my-hostname" settings commented out?

You may have set them to values, but forgotten to uncomment them (remove the # from the begining of the line)

It can do DNS lookups...

Can the machine do any lookups from the shell prompt like:-

$ nslookup http://www.egghelp.org.

If it fails than a) check /etc/resolv.conf and b) check ur firewall is not blocking DNS queries

cheers

Had an eggdrop configured in slackware 8.0, worked great.
Changed system to openBSD 2.9 and can't get it starting:
* Hostname self-lookup failed.

Have tried setting my-ip, my-hostname and disabling loadmodule dns, no change...

Would really like getting the bot to work again.

Btw, the computer is now also a firewall, it wasn't when running slackware 8.0, if that changes anything.
