Linking issue

[phiz]

Having a weird problem with one server when I try to initiate a connection from it (/connect or auto). It works ok when the remote end connects back to me.

/connect server.net
[irc] *** Resolving hostname 'server.net'...
[irc] Hostname server.net is unknown for server server.net.

server.net resolves ok on the host. Even if I add the port to /connect I get the same result. No traffic is generated towards the remote end.

Here is the link section:

Code: Select all

link server.net
{
  username *;
  hostname server.net;
  bind-ip *;
  port 7670;
  hub *;
  password-connect "***";
  password-receive "***";
  class servernet;
  options
  {
    nodnscache;
    nohostcheck;
    // autoconnect;
    ssl;
    zip;
  };
};

Ideas?

hostname server.net;
try changing to
hostname 123.123.123.123;

where 123.123.123.123 is the ip of server.net

Hey, I'm having a similar problem (I'm suddenly getting a "Write Error: Connection refused" when using hostnames, and my IP just changed, even though I'm using nodnscache and nohostcheck).

Am I supposed to avoid using hostnames to connect servers entirely?

(PS: Is there any chance you can unban rogers.com from the IRC channel? Thanks =)
