setting up znc for the first time.
ideally i'll want to connect to it using pidgin ( ~ no idea how to do that yet... thought it might b a simple case of adding an account that points to the server address ... but seems i'm not even that far yet ~)
i cant even get it to connect with irssi just now though, using the suggested
Code:
/server 192.168.1.7 +6667 nick
it just spits back at me,
Code:
00:02 -!- Irssi: Looking up 192.168.1.7
00:02 -!- Irssi: Connecting to 192.168.1.7 [192.168.1.7] port 6667
00:02 -!- Irssi: Connection to 192.168.1.7 established
00:02 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to 192.168.1.7
then it continues periodically with...
00:07 -!- Irssi: Removed reconnection to server 192.168.1.7 port 6667
00:07 -!- Irssi: Looking up 192.168.1.7
00:07 -!- Irssi: Reconnecting to 192.168.1.7 [192.168.1.7] port 6667 - use /RMRECONNS to abort
00:07 -!- Irssi: Connection to 192.168.1.7 established
00:07 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to 192.168.1.7
00:12 -!- Irssi: Removed reconnection to server 192.168.1.7 port 6667
00:12 -!- Irssi: Looking up 192.168.1.7
00:12 -!- Irssi: Reconnecting to 192.168.1.7 [192.168.1.7] port 6667 - use /RMRECONNS to abort
00:12 -!- Irssi: Connection to 192.168.1.7 established
00:12 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to 192.168.1.7
etc etc
so... is there something wwrong with my znc configuration, or something else in my system needed doing first?
the server is running parabola
trying to connect using toorox
(hehe, nice obscure distros i know. lol. just think of it as arch and gentoo respectively)
here's my config near enough as is:
Code:
// WARNING
//
// Do NOT edit this file while ZNC is running!
// Use webadmin or *admin instead.
//
// Buf if you feel risky, you might want to read help on /znc saveconfig and /znc rehash.
// Also check http://en.znc.in/wiki/Configuration
