Hostname Problem

[mao43]

Code: Select all

*** Connecting to irc.domain.com at port 6667 (SSL is OFF)...
*** Connection established
*** -irc.domain.com- *** Looking up your hostname...
*** -irc.domain.com- *** Couldn't resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead
*** Welcome to the Test IRC Network [email protected]

why is this happening

Your server was unable to look up your hostname for some reason. Make sure your system has valid DNS servers that can resolve yourself.

If this server is on your LAN (and your IP is like 192.168.something.something or 10.something.something.something), it WILL NOT resolve.

Im using Cloudflare for DNS
i already created irc.domain.com in A and CNAME
any other idea why this shows up
and server is not on my LAN

that has nothing to do with your IRC's DNS. Unreal checks the "Client" for a hostname when connecting. If it cannot verify a hostname, you will see their IP all jumbled when you whois them. However if the server does detect a hostname for a client you will see "@blahblah.somenet.net" (ex fios.verizon.com). This is not an issue with your server at all, unless it is doing it to all of your connected clients. It could be simply that your ISP does not have reverse DNS enabled for your IP block you are connected as.
