Can't connect to service...

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

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
