Hello

I am haveing trouble with getting the services to intergrate with unreal, the area i seem to be haveing trouble with is the sermote server connection in the config, this is how the code reads

# RemoteServer <hostname> <port> <password> [REQUIRED]
# Specifies the remote server hostname and port. The hostname may
# either be a standard Internet hostname or dotted-quad numeric
# address; the port number must be an integer between 1 and 65535
# inclusive. The password is a string which should be enclosed in
# double quotes if it contains any spaces (or just for clarity).
# Make sure to uncomment the directive (remove the leading "#") before
# running Services.
#
# The remote server and port may be overridden at runtime with the
# -remote command-line option. The password may not be set at runtime.

RemoteServer irc.clickerpower.net 6667 "password"


Now when i run ./ircservices i get this in the log

[Oct 22 00:28:07 2006] IRC Services 5.0.58 starting up
[Oct 22 00:28:37 2006] FATAL: Remote server returned: ERROR :Closing Link: [192.168.1.1] (Ping timeout)

[Oct 22 00:33:01 2006] FATAL: Remote server returned: ERROR :Closing Link: [192.168.1.1] (Ping timeout)

I am not real sure where i am going wrong, unless i need to add directives in the ircd.conf


Any ideas?

Firstly, it's unrealircd.conf, and secondly, yes you do (if you haven't already). Have a look at the link block documentation.

[192.168.1.1] (Ping timeout)

are you using a router? please CrashOverride as i think i know what the problem could be. and Ron2K, the unrealircd configuration file name can be changes in the config.h file and a few people do change it to ircd.conf, "as its alot more easyer".

Yes i am behind a router, here is my link code in unrealircd.conf

link services.clickerpower.net
{
username *;
hostname services.clickerpower.net;
bind-ip *;
port 6667;
hub *;
password-connect "password";
password-receive "password";
class servers;
# options {
# /* Note: You should not use autoconnect when linking services */
# autoconnect;
# ssl;
# zip;
# };
};


Althou i am behind the router the server ip is DMZ

How about my dns settings would that impact the services??

Yeah, by the looks of things its probably your dns. The thing is that if your behind a router the ip address 192.168.1.1 is used to give static router ip address to people behind it, so the connecting to that address from your end will not work. you might need to change to something like 192.168.1.100. and get the dns to give it that address.

well the only address the dns knows is my Public IP

Your computer will ask the router to assign you and address with the dhc thing. But you can set it to use 192.168.1.1 to assign you an ip address of your choise. i dont use windows so i dont know how to do that on there. humm commonly depending on how many people are behind the router, the ip address alicated are 192.168.1.1xx like 192.168.1.100 and just keep adding 1 to it. If not then your router configuration is probably messed up. might want to re-check the manual?

The LAN is set up on a static ip system, the lan ip of the server is 192.168.1.40 there are 4 other pcs on that lan so in my code i am not sure if i need to be using the lan ip to link the services or my Public ip the one the net sees so i am a bit confused

Are your server and services on the same box? if so set the hostname in the Unreal to hostname *; in your link block and update your services.conf file to be RemoteServer localhost 6667 "password"

yes both the ircd server and the services are on the same box,

Ok change the hostname to hostname *; in your linkblock in unrealircd.conf and in your services.conf put RemoteServer localhost serverport "password";

ok now this is my new code ircds conf file

link services.clickerpower.net
{
username andy;
hostname 127.0.0.1;
port *;
bind-ip 127.0.0.1;
password-connect "PASSWORD";
password-receive "PASSWORD";
class servers;
};

ulines {
services.clickerpower.net;
};

And here is the services conf

RemoteServer localhost 6667 "PASSWORD"

and now i am getting this error

[Oct 24 17:19:06 2006] IRC Services 5.0.58 starting up
[Oct 24 17:19:35 2006] FATAL: Remote server returned: ERROR :Closing Link: [127.0.0.1] (Ping timeout)

Also here my my listen block

* NEW: listen {}

* OLD: P:Line

* This defines a port for the ircd to bind to, to

* allow users/servers to connect to the server.

* Syntax is as follows:

listen *:6667;
listen *:6668;
listen 127.0.0.1*:6667;

{

options

{

clientsonly;

};

};

how bout this
