Can't connect to my server

Hello

I've recently created a IRC Server with Unreal IRCD 3.2.1, but when I try to connect to my server that is irc.webinfinity.org, I can't join the server.
This is my own domain name (http://www.webinfinity.org), but I haven't transfered something yet.
What should I do ?
Thanks

You need to create a DNS A record pointing to the IP that the IRC server is running on.

Peace

There are some points I don't understand ...
Thanks

Do you understand DNS?

Is 212.78.206.150 the correct IP that your server is running on?

I haven't specified an IP for my server ...
Where can I do this ?
Hem no, I don't understand DNS ? What is this ?

DNS has nothing to do with Unreal, DNS is the protocol that takes a domain name and converts it to an IP. For example, http://www.google.com goes to 216.239.39.147. If you need help with that, you're going to have to contact whoever is hosting the DNS services for your domain name. It's beyond the scope of Unreal.
