There was an error with your input
Invalid IRC server. The error was: Connection timed out. Please check the IRC server and try again.

i was trying to add irc.matrix.tl with the website also matrix.tl and my email
admin@matrix.tl

ya it works for everyone except the searchirc bot, i think your bot is messed up.

No, your box is blocking me from connecting. Not just me, since I have another box in the same ISP and it can't connect.

I can't even traceroute to your ip 208.53.155.22, but I can trace perfectly fine to 208.53.155.21 and 208.53.155.23

at any rate, the network submission page actually uses the robot code. So if the submit page rejects you with an error, the same error would take place when the robot tries to index you.

In this case, we cannot reach the IRC server and the connection times out.

Ok i really need some help becouse i just got a new ircd from a different company and updated my dns and it still dosnt work

Jason · Posted: Mar 15, 2008 3:15pm Post subject:

still can't connect to your new host:

[jason@dionysus ~]$ telnet irc.matrix.tl 6667
Trying 72.20.18.141...
^V

It works to Undernet, and thousands of other IRC networks though..

[jason@dionysus ~]$ telnet irc.undernet.org 6667
Trying 72.51.18.254...
Connected to irc.undernet.org (72.51.18.254).

SELECT count(*) FROM network WHERE freshness >90

don't appear to have an issue connecting elsewhere.

while i may be wrong, it appears you are trying to connect via telnet. If this is the case, the connection time out would be that you're not replying to PING challenges from the IRCd with the PONG response

Yeah, try this:

$ telnet irc.undernet.org 6667
Trying 72.51.18.254...
Connected to irc.undernet.org (72.51.18.254).
