[IRCServices] Startup problem

[Craig McLure]

Try using this as your link block instead

link            services.irc.swallegiance.com
{
 username *;
 hostname  69.28.183.209;
 bind-ip  *;
 port   12701;
 hub             *;
 password-connect "password";
 password-receive "password";
 class           servers;
};

and in your ircservices.conf

RemoteServer    irc.swallegiance.com 12701 "password"
LocalAddress    69.28.183.209
ServerName      "services.irc.swallegiance.com"


That will then force services to use the IP address the IRCd expects from it, obviously replace password with the relevant password.

Also, if your link config is in a seperate file, ensure that it is included in your main config.

That _SHOULD_ fix your probs.
