Possibly, although one of the techs at my host says he himself has his own server hosted on the same box and doesn't have any DNS problems. So the problem must be within my config.

Well honestly I don't expect an immediate answer as Unreal isn't actually paid software. If it were, you people would jump at helping people. I really don't mean to sound rude, but it's the fact that I've been having this problem for like 3 weeks now, and I've been asking around trying to get this ...

My mIRC log files contain colors codes, making it a bit hard to read, but I hope this backs me up on what I said:

So, can someone tell me how to fix it? I don't know much about DNS or even much about networks, only the basics. There ...

There are no DNS settings currently present by default. I added some, but it doesn't appear to be helping any.

I talked to my host, here are some things they suggested:

- Add DNS server or resolver to unrealircd.conf
- Check to see if there are DNS timeout values. If so, increase them.

I tried searching for both of these in the config, but I don't see any relevant blocks. I told my host this, and their ...

I'm not a pro with IRC, I to this ...

Oh good, it does work. I'm using the computer at work right now, and I used a CGI IRC to connect to my server (irc.lvrcr.com)...thanks for all your help guys.

Ah, so it works?!?!

By the way, how did you get the IP? I never said it in my post...

I can load Unreal, the services I use start and everything - I just cannot get others to connect.

I've opened ports 6667-7000 in the firewall, port forwarded in my router, etc. I still cannot get others to connect. The only way I can connect is by using "localhost". My IP just doesn't work...

I ...
