Port numbers must be between 1 and 65535 they cannot be lower or higher.

ports 1 to 1024 require root access, common IRC ports are 6660-6669 and 7000. Common SSL ports are 6697 and 7000 or 7001. For servers any other port will work some odd port is best like 4400 or 7070. It's best to stay between 4000 and 8000 as you will likely not have conflicting ports with other applications. Stay away from ports 8080, 10000, 20000, 31337 and other known ports above 1024.

Hello,
Thanks for this, ive checked this and i dont really think there is anything wrong with my links block, and that link doesn't really help with configuring a server to be able to link. Ive checked
http://forums.unrealircd.com/viewtopic.php?t=329 and followed them steps (and added hub *; and leaf *; etc to the links block) and i still have the same error!
Edit: Ive also tried /connect madness.ircmadness.net rampage.ircmadness.net (i get -rampage.ircmadness.net- *** Connect: Server rampage.ircmadness.net already exists from rampage.ircmadness.net.)
Ive also tried /connect madness.ircmadness.net and i get:
Code: Select all
-rampage.ircmadness.net- *** Connecting to madness.ircmadness.net[216.18.189.253].
-
-rampage.ircmadness.net- *** LocOps -- ERROR :from madness.ircmadness.net[216.18.189.253] -- Server rampage.ircmadness.net already exists from rampage.ircmadness.net

-rampage.ircmadness.net- *** LocOps -- ERROR :from madness.ircmadness.net[216.18.189.253] -- Closing Link: [72.20.21.111] (Server Exists)

the "server already exists" error is very literal. It' means exactly that. The server is already connected.

I know that, but the thing is
/map shows
rampage.ircmadness.net (2)
End of /MAP
and /stats c shows
C *@216.18.189.253 * madness.ircmadness.net 8000 servers
H madness.ircmadness.net * madness.ircmadness.net
C *@72.20.21.111 * services.ircmadness.net 8000 servers
End of /STATS report
