Just installed Unreadircd 5.0.6 on a Windows 10 pro machine, and have the following question(s):
I successfully connected via xchat from my linux machine, but when I attempt to try my own rudimentary Python written client, I get stuck in a loop and time out.
The client is connecting, but waiting for a response from the server (Unrealircd) that contains the 376 (END of MOTD) message defined by the IRC protocol, but have not seen it come across. I did create an MOTD file via the GUI configuration and rehashed all files.
When I connect, I get the following response from Unrealircd (5.0.6)
Code: Select all
:<myservername> NOTICE * :*** Looking up your hostname...
:<myservername> NOTICE * :*** Found your hostname (cached)
Since I don't ever see the 376 message, I never send my nickname to register, and as a result I time out with this message:
Code: Select all
ERROR :Closing Link: [70.130.78.158] (Registration Timeout)
I've looked through the FAQ, but haven't found anything. I made the assumption that the MOTD would print if it was created.
Please note that this client works correctly when connecting to irc.freenode.net
