I just installed ngirc for the first time. Currently, I can connect to ngirc from localhost; however, from other machines I cannot connect.
It tried troubleshooting with netcat and wireshark a bit. When I connect with netcat to port 6667 from another machine, my connection ins't refused, but I don't seem to be getting any kind of response back from the server either. Not even an ACK.
Any suggestions? I'm wondering if there's some switch I have to flip to get it to talk to something other than localhost.
Thanks

If you don’t even get „nothing at all“ (no ACK, no RST, …), then something is wrong on the TCP/IP layer, not with ngIRCd which operates at a much higher level.

You can bind ngIRCd to the local loopback interface only (check „Listen“ configuration option in ngircd.conf), but your problem sounds more like „something is blocking my network connection“, so I’d suggest to check your firewall.
