Greetings,

I have been trying last 2 days to make unreal listen to port 6667 with no luck!

unrealircd.conf

Code: Select all

listen         *:6679
{
	options
	{
	clientsonly;
        	
	};
};

listen         *:7000;
listen *:6667
{ 
        options
        { 
        clientsonly;
           };
 };

i tried connecting to my server with port 6667 but it keeps giving me connection refused! but when i change the port from 6667 to another port i can connect to the new port but when i put back 6667 i get connection refused!


any help please?


Regards

you're missing the required semi-colon

If this is a home server, which looks that way, have your forwarded your ports properly?

Greetings,


This is not a home server, its a Linux dedicated server.

ok I'm sorry, you didn't miss a semi-colon, my bad.

However try using an IP instead of a wild card and see if that fixes it.

(replace 1.2.3.4 with your real IP)

Code: Select all

listen 1.2.3.4:6667
instead of

Code: Select all

listen *:6667
It may seem weird, but sometimes it works. When dealing with the ircd's config file, the less ambiguous the better.

That sounds a LOT like the host has blocked the use of IRC servers for some reason or another. I would advise you get in touch with the host and ask them for more info.
