Code: Select all

port *;

That should be what port your friend has for you, am not to sure about linking servers, but i dont think you both need the same thing that would just cause trouble. *For me it helps to think of it as services*. So if you have the link block for your friend link with your server, and he has yours you can use /connect <server-name> and only one of the ircds needs to be listening on that port ( there ircd that is being linked too. ) I'll take a look at it and see if i can come up with a link block for ya both, However, i've never really liked other servers' just services :/ so sorry if its wrong. a more reliable source of help would be the FAQ http://www.vulnscan.org/UnrealIrcd/faq/#12 read on from there and that should help you.

Can you actually paste the error messages you get so we can base our help on those please?

MABy you should read the whole dam thing i said in my message the error message i get it invalid port!

Thats not the whole error message. Without the rest of the error message that could mean anything. There are a whole number of reasons you can get an invalid port error. The whole error message is usually more specific.

The same place it gives you "invalid port" there is more that it gives you at the same time. Or you could try the IRCd's log file.

In the link block, you should have "port 7003;" (without quotations). In your link block and in your friend's.

I DO! that star in the one that i posted it just a mistake!

Oh, sorry. That's my bad. I must have overlooked that post you made.

The links have expired on rafb.net. Find a pastebin that doesn't expire, and paste your current link block and your friends link block.

Your friend should have this [unrealircd.conf]:

listen IP Address:7003 { options { serversonly; }; };
link kt.irc.echillplace.com {
username *;
hostname *;
bind-ip *;
port 7003;
hub *;
password-connect Password;
password-receive Password;
class servers;
};

You should have this [unrealircd.conf]:

link irc.echillplace.com {
username *;
hostname Your Friends IP Address that his server is listening on;
bind-ip *;
port 7003;
hub *;
password-connect Password;
password-receive Password;
class servers;
};

Then if you type: '/connect irc.echillplace.com' it should link to your friends server.
text like this is optional
text like this means you have to fill in the requested information
If you have problems with something about hubs and leafs, try changing the

Code: Select all

hub *'

in your unrealircd.conf to

Code: Select all

leaf *;

and 'vice versa'.

P.S sorry about the wait, was going crazy with updating anope :/ its like *sigh* again??? GRRR, lol anyway i hope it helps
