Can't connect to service...

[mytime]

Here's the problem I have: I have compiled and configured UnrealIRCd without error, and have tried restarting it. What happens is, there is no way to access the IRC by connecting to the server's ip, but it is acccessible using irssi and connecting to 127.0.0.1. Hence, it works, but not from the outside. Am I missing something in unrealircd.conf, or what do you think the problem is? Theres no firewall blocking it either.


Thanks for your help and I'll be waiting for your generous responses.

The port your ircd is running on is not open.

It's open...

Code: Select all

Name 	Policy 	Protocol 	Source Address 	Source Port 	Destination Address 	Destination Port
IRCd 	Accept 	      tcp 	           any 	     any 	        any 	       6667

listen 67.222.*.*:6667;

Code: Select all

(13:00:22) * Connecting to irc.*.org (6667)
(13:00:43) * [10053] Software caused connection abort
(13:00:43) * Disconnected

Do you own the domain you're trying to connect to? And, is there an firewall active that may be blocking any traffic to port 6667?

Yes, I own the domain and run the DNS. (VPS Server). As far as I know there is no Firewall running. I've shut off the VPS one and CSF.

Looks like my host was blocking 6667 so I changed port.

looks like its kinda working...

(14:34:46) ›› Server: Looking up your hostname...
(14:34:46) ›› Server: Couldn't resolve your hostname; using your IP address instead
(14:34:47) Closing Link: name[83.233.*.*] (You are not authorized to connect to this server)
(14:34:47) * Disconnected
