problems getting egg to connect to linknet...

bnjmn · Post by **bnjmn** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 8:00 pm

so im brand new to the whole shell/egg scene, and im having a few problems, but this is one that i cant figure out for the life of me.

i have my bot trying to connect to LinkNet, and whenever i use putty to login to the bot this is what i see after about 10 seconds of being on it:

does anyone know what i did wrong?

ps: i tried searching for a topic on this already, but couldnt find one...

make sure your net-type is 4, although it's doubtful that would help

also, test connection to another network that is using ircd-ratbox (EFnet) - try irc.he.net

set net-type 4 then tried it on link-net, didnt work. tried it on irc.he.net and it didnt work either.

should i just start over?

set raw-log 1 and .console +rv (that will log the raw IRC traffic between the server and your bot); then try again and paste the log here, using

that doesn't look like +rv log to me... are you sure your console was +rv?

bnjmn · Post by **bnjmn** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 11:47 pm

i did .console +rv...

where would the rv log store itself?

okay, but did that successfully change the console flags to +rv? type .console to see your current console flags

try to connect to IRC from bot's shell using an IRC client

if you don't have IRC client installed on the shell, try telneting to the server on port 6667; then paste the log of what happened here

i user mirc and connect to IRC (linknet) just fine...no problems.

when i try to telnet to the server, it hangs up

in the telnet session, type "nick somenick" and then "user someuser 0 0 :foo bar" and see what happens; if you see "ping :something", reply with "pong something"

hmm this is wierd

that means the connection is established but for some reason it's functional one-way only - you are able to receive server's output, but not able to send to the server (or the server doesn't receive what you've sent to it)

talk to your admin and let them know about that, it's their problem and if you are a paying customer, they should fix that ASAP, or else you should ditch them immediately and ask for refund

could it be a problem with how i have the eggdrop configured (even though i followed the egghelp.org tutorial 100%) or could it be the way my bnc is config?

the staff at this sh3lls.net is less than helpful, so i think even if i have a problem that is out of my control that i can just kiss that $6 goodbye :p
