Server linking woes

Alright, my friend and I are trying to link our IRCD's together, and we're not getting anywhere, so I thought i'd ask for help.

On his side:

His problem seems to be that he gets an error every time he tries to connect to me.

[Mon Feb 14 22:36:41 2005] - Connect to host irc.nimmy.info[67.170.132.123] failed: Invalid argument

ink irc.nimmy.info {
username *;
hostname 67.170.132.123;
bind-ip *;
port 8787;
password-connect "LiNk";
password-receive "LiNk";
leaf *;
class servers;
};

My side:
*** Global -- Closing link: Write error: Connection refused - irc.bluejot.net[63.200.53.121]

link irc.bluejot.net {
username *;
hostname 63.200.53.121;
bind-ip *;
port 8787;
password-connect "LiNk";
password-receive "LiNk";
leaf *;
class servers;
options {
autoconnect;
};
};

Two different errors, but still a big problem. Any help would be appreciated.

read the 1st line: says "ink", and is "link".

one of those servers must be *hub*

Sorry, the l is very much there, I just suck at copying/pasting.

Edit: And setting bluejot to hub still doesn't help the problem with the invalid argument error.

Check that the ip in YOUR link block is that of HIS ircd and vice versa... I'm not sure, but it's always worth checking.

well one link block has auto connect and the other doesnt...

do u have a listen block for the port 8787 and is it server only

bluejot should be set as a hub

My side:
*** Global -- Closing link: Write error: Connection refused - irc.bluejot.net[63.200.53.121]

so i take it nimmy is ur server??

Yeah, it's mine. I'll have him set his as hub again, but I don't think that will fix the problem on his side. And I read somewhere that only one of the servers really need autoconnect.

As for listen:

listen *:8787 {
options {
serversonly;
};
};

have ur friend check his ircd log for errors(?) and debug it when he tries to connect, see if that can help any

Well, the "Invalid Error" is what shows up in his log.
