No, no DNS configuration issues. The server's idea of its host name simply doesnt resolve. See http://www.zoneedit.com/lookup.html?host=xenon.oftc.net&type=A&server=&forward=Look+it+up for an example. The question is, why is xchat-gnome attempting to connect to a server name which is not in the network's list of servers?
Looking at the code, on line 780 of src/common/server.c it looks like it attempts to reconnect to serv->hostname. I debugged xchat-gnome, and found that, indeed, serv->hostname is set to the server's alias at reconnect time rather than being a resolvable host. At first I thought this was being set on line 1662 of the same file, but apparently not. After further examination, I think it's actually line 2872 of src/common/outbound.c Not sure though, it could be either place, or somewhere else entirely. There aren't a whole lot of places where serv->hostname is set though ( I think those are the only two) -- (gutsy) cannot reconnect to OFTC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
