Hi all,
Well this is my problem,
I have set up ircd on my shell account and everything seems to be fine
when I run ./unreal start there is no errors but I canot connect to my ircd server in mirc.. is there something I may of missed that would stop me from accessing it?

Regards
Richard Simpson

Did you set up your firewall and router correctly?

bit off topic but hello scribbs! ltns! You still learning to configure your unreal? lol mines all done and running - compiled, on a shell and complete with services. now its a case of ironing out the fine tunes

it is possible you are running a firewall like Dukat said. could also be that your listen blocks are not correct.. If you used a wild card for the ip, i would suggest setting one then trying to connect with the set IP.

im on a new shell and everything is working correctly now.

Na look on eXtreme Computing forums, and look for PhatOCX someone else is making it but they said I can use it once there finished, but still not to sure about it as only IE I realy wanted something that would work in all browsers.
