OS: windows XP

Well manage to get it up and running on my own in the end but i cant op up please see the config and irc error below. and could somone shed some light on whats being done wrong.

*/

oper lobes {
class clients;
from {
userhost *@*.HOST;
};
password "1";
flags {
admin
netadmin;
global;
};
};
/*


No O-lines for your host

Have you read question #35 in the FAQ?

Also note that the netadmin oper flag also includes admin and global, therefore listing explicitly admin and global in your oper flags isn't necessary.

Ok well what your saying is comman sense i have done all this and yet i still get this error from both the server pc and another pc on the LAN

Try changing: to: and see if that works. If it does, you didnt get HOST right.

ok tryed that with and without i read that on another post in this forum. but no matter what i do i get the same message in irc, I checked the operstats in /unreal3.2/aliases

/* OperStats Aliases */

alias operserv { type stats; };
alias os { nick operserv; type stats; };
alias statserv { type stats; };
alias ss { nick statserv; type stats; };

but like i say i just cant the thing to op my and from what i have read and seen in the in the unreal docs and the FAQ. Theres nothing wrong.

Opering has nothing to do with services.
I hope you are using

Yep doing that

So does anyone else have any ideas what im doing wrong ?

I think you probably missed something, because you should be able to oper-up successfully. I can't see what things happen on your computer, but I'm giving you the advice again to:

1. Set up an oper block with the easiest plain text password and userhost *@*.
2. /rehash or even restart your server, just to be sure.
3. Check if you are using the correct configuration file and if it is loaded by the ircd.
4. Check if the oper block is not commented out (yeah, I know, it's a lame idea, but mysterious things can happen).
5. Check if you are connected to the right server (another lame idea).
6. If the login succeeded, you can add more restrictions to your oper block.

Please be a little more self-supporting, because we can't guess everything.
