Connection Delays - win32

Who · Post by **Who** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 2:11 am

Hello, everyone who connects to my IRC Server experiances about a 10 second delay while connecting, it just says "connecting"
The OS is win2k Server. a long while ago, it used to run linux and there was no delay, its not like its slow or anything, it just seems like its "waiting" for something, a time out or something....
A forum search yelded nothing of use...

Anyone have any tips or advice for this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

This can be either DNS or identd. If you have these enabled, use the defaults in the docs, and be sure your DNS server is valid. I see this mostly when people use 127.0.0.1 as their DNS server.

Might be a good idea to enable set::options::show-connect-info in your unrealircd.conf + /rehash ;)

Code: Select all

set { options { show-connectinfo; }; };

This will give you some info where the delay is. As stealth mentioned, the ircd probably does "respond" immediately (by accepting the connection) but gets the delay either at the dns or ident request taking a while (unusually long, as you say).
