Posts: 2		Hello forum. I also have the same kind of problem and I'm unable to find good pointers right now. As conf doc suggested, I created mech.conf from scratch (keeping eye on sample.conf though). So I have this line in mech.conf (and mech.session): server irc.cc.tut.fi 6667 If I say `netstat -n -p \|grep 666`, I see only my irssi client and eggdrop bot (which I'm desperately trying to get rid of) connecting to such port. I also tried with other servers such as undernet server in sample.conf by adding them in mech.session. I'm thinking the problem might be in DNS resolving. I've added dnsserver (from my /etc/resolv.conf) and even dnsroot lines in the mech.conf and always removed mech.session afterwards. Debug feed also says my that dnsroot option was interpreted correctly (according to the spam ;) But even after this I get debug such as: (rawdns) questions 127.0.0.1: irc.cc.tut.fi (rawdns) questions 127.0.0.1: uptime.energymech.net (select_rawdns) removing uptime.energymech.net qid 28766 (rawdns) questions 127.0.0.1: uptime.energymech.net (select_rawdns) removing uptime.energymech.net qid 18999 (select_rawdns) removing irc.cc.tut.fi qid 16215 Which should not be 127.0.0.1? Any pointers or advice?

Posts: 2		Just "walking by" to tell that I "fixed" it by recompiling without dynamic DNS support. I don't know if I'm missing some very fancy feature, but at least it connects now. Still don't mind if someone wants to shed some light about this issue :)
