Phoenix Network Forums

Hello,

I am trying to set up an irc bouncer using a free shell account here. I'm following the tutorial for setting up a ShroudBNC on a Phoenix Shell from this website.

I used the automated installer at the start, and followed the steps from where that finishes to the point where the sBNC is now running and I have to connect to my irc client(mIRC).

I typed the command line(in mIRC)
/server infinity.phoenix-hosting.org 34543 password -i user
changing the password and user for my own(I used the same port as the tutorial).From that i get
[15:50] * Connecting to infinity.phoenix-hosting.org (34543)
[15:51] * Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out).

Then I changed the command line to
/server users.phoenix-network.org 34543 password -i user
changing the passwod and user for my own. From that i get
[16:13] * Connecting to users.phoenix-network.org (34543)
[16:13] -Notice- *** shroudBNC1.1 $Revision: 371 $
[16:13] -Notice- *** Looking up your hostname
[16:13] -Notice- *** Found your hostname (86-42-*-*.b-ras1.blp.dublin.eircom.net)
[16:13] -Notice- *** Unknown user or wrong password.

I am nearly certain my password and username are correct, but i'll check them if someone tells me how. If anybody knows where I went wrong or any troubleshooting I should attempt to fix this that would be great.

Thank you.

ps I replaced the third and fourth set of digits of my ip with an *.

The Host first mentioned is not longer valid, therefore the connection failure. For message about the username and password I am pretty sure it actually is a mismatch of these. Make sure you didn't make a typo and neither the password nor the username were deformed by character encodings. You can nearly exclude that if they consists only of US-ASCII characters.

Hi,
I got it to work on my laptop. I finished the setup on the laptop. Then i tried it again on my desktop and it still didn't work. So I did a fresh install of mIRC on my desktop and it works.
Thanks.
