[IRCServices] Startup problem

[Trido]

Believe me, I have been trying.  You're right, I am new to IRCd and
services.  I've been looking in the documentation I can find, as well as
asking questions when I can.  I don't know, I musn't be looking in the right
places, especially if these problems are that basic.  I have been trying to
contact them via that IRC channel of theirs, but I keep failing that damn
test (Despite the fact that I was positive I had it all right).  I'll try
again though.

> Maybe you should spend some time reading both thorougly through the Manual
Files for Unreal IRCd, and more importantly Services, you seem to be new to
the IRCd world, and i can appreciate that, we have all been there, wanting
to get our servers up as quickly as possible, overlooking some things that
dont really seem important.. however, some of the problems you are having
seem to be 'elementary' stuff, which are most probably solved in a lot of
manuals and alike, would save us trying to 'guess' at your issue :)

strange.. A Standard layout is something like the following..

> server1.yournetwork.com
> server2.yournetwork.com
> server3.yournetwork.com
> server4.yournetwork.com
> services.yournetwork.com

irc.yournetwork.com (Just a small note, i'm not here to tell you how to run
your network, but it might make your life easier)

reason why services is currently failing to link, i would (personally) call
it an IRCd issue, maybe you should concider getting in touch with the
UnrealIRCd team, and seeing what they have to say about it :)
