|
Just installed a fresh & up-to-date Gentoo box, running kernel 2.6.14-gentoo-r5. When I try to connect to an IRC server, no matter which one, I'm getting this error:
| Quote: | [21:19.23] -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.xs4all.nl
[21:19.23] -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.xs4all.nl [194.109.129.219] port 6667
[21:19.23] -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server irc.xs4all.nl port 6667 (Cannot assign requested address) |
Very strange behaviour, this afternoon, when I was running FreeBSD on this machine, I was able to connect. My network settings:
ifconfig:
| Quote: | eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:2E:3C:8E

Any suggestions?

Never mind, got it, wrong hostname in ~/.irssi/config caused this behaviour.
