ok, so I got my chat server restarted thanks to dukat, NOW my services wont run, I have checked for any instances of the old ip for my server (before the account transfer) and I cant find any, that should be the only thing that has changed, so I dont see why they wont connect. I keep getting the error:

[02:44:11 AM] -Irc.TeenLight.Net- *** LocOps -- ERROR :from Services.TeenLight.Net -- Link denied (No matching link configuration)

Any Ideas?

Please read the following tutorials before asking questions:

Angrywolf said it best, however for future reference. The error meesage will more than likely give you an idea as to what the probrlem is.

"No matching link configuration" <-- means there is no "link" block that "matches the configuration" in other words .. check your "link" blocks in your "configuration" file.

Please take 5 seconds and *read* the error. You'll soon find that more times than not, the server is telling you what's wrong.

To be exact, Irc.TeenLight.Net sent a message to sc that a server assumed to be Services.TeenLight.Net denied the link. You can't be sure whether Services.TeenLight.Net is a Services server, because that name is only a name that was specified in the configuration, that is, Services.TeenLight.net is the name of a link block in the configuration of Irc.TeenLight.Net (the real name of the remote server will be known only when both link configurations match each other). In addition, the reason Services.TeenLight.Net said must be a message from an UnrealIRCd server. To summarize, I think an Unreal server accidentally attempted to link with an other Unreal server (probably the same one). Which gives me the conclusion that sc used /connect to establish a connection between Services and UnrealIRCd. And that's, you know, bad.

No, The services for the server were working perfectly before. The server that hosted the shell account was being DoSed, so the shell was moved to a more protected server, the only thing I have changed in the configuation files is the ip address that was given to me by the server admin. Everything seems to match up on the link block but I know nothing about unreal or the services and my chat admin is uhh... somewhere.

Is the Link block REM'd? I had the same error, until I realised the link block was enclosed in */ and /* REM lines. Check yours. I bet that's the problem. If not i'll shut up.

you might have to tell Services to bind to a specific IP. I've seen ircd.conf files with conrrect info .. but for some reason Services will try to use the boxes main IP .. Just a thought .. especially since you say Services is what moved.
