Network Access
Q: How do I gain access to my network?
A: In order to gain access to your network, you must follow these steps:
  1. Make sure your network is registered, if not, do so.
  2. Sign up for an IRC Driven account.
  3. The go to: IRC Driven Control Panel -> Network Options -> Gain access to a network.
  4. Follow the instructions shown.
  5. Once verification is complete, the changes will be shown in "Net Options".
IRC Operator
The Administrator you specify must be an IRC Operator. If this check is failed, the Operator or Administrator needs to oper up.
Cable Server
It is recommended that you do not run a server on a cable internet connection. There are many reasons for this, but the primary reason is stability. It is not required that you do not have any servers running on cable, only recommended.
Dynamic IP
It is definitely not recommended ro run your servers on a dynamic IP address. There address change very frequently, and are generally very unstable. It is not required that you stay away from dynamic IP addresses, just very strongly recommended.
IRC Connection
For your network to be accepted we need to be able to connect to all your IRC servers listed in your IRC sub domain. If this check is failed, one of your servers are unreachable.
IRC DNS
It is required that you have an IRC sub domain of your primary DNS, it is also required that it resolve to an IPv4 address. If this check is failed, then you need to setup your domain to have the IRC sub domain.
IRC /LIST
Your server must support the /LIST >2 command, and must return a list of channels. If this does not happen, then we CANNOT index your network. If this check is failed, you need to enable the /LIST command, or use a different IRCd.
IRC /MOTD
It is recommended that you make use of the MOTD's to show rules and upcoming events. The MOTD is displayed to everyone who connects to the server, or to anyone who issues a /MOTD command. MOTD's are not hard to make, so go make one now. This is not a requirement, merely a recommendation.
NETWORK
It is required for your IRCd to report NETWORK=YOUR-NETWORK-NAME, and for it to report it accurately according to what you gave here. If this test fails, either fix the IRCd's configuration, or fix the name in your entry.
Server Name
This is merely an informational statement, it is not a test, just information gathered while running the tests.
Mail Abuse
It is recommended that abuse@YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD be a valid address. It is acctually required by one of the RFC's. It is not, however, required to get your IRC network listed on IRC Driven.
Mail Admin
It is recommended that admin@YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD be a valid address. It is actually required by one of the RFC's. It is not, however, required to get your IRC network listed on IRC Driven.
Mail Connection
It is recommended that your mail servers be reachable if you list them in the MX records for your domain. It doesn't make sense to list unreachable mail servers. Not a requirement, just a recommendation.
Mail Post Master
It is recommended that postmaster@YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD be a valid address. It is actually required by one of the RFC's. It is not, however, required to get your IRC network listed on IRC Driven.
MX Records
It is recommended that you have MX records setup for your domain. These records allow your domain to receive email. For email to get to your domains email servers properly, MX records are required. If your domain does not have email, then there is no need to have MX records. This is not required, merely recommended.
Reverse
It is recommended that all your servers have reverse (PTR) DNS records. There allow you to map on IP back to an address, and many email servers to require them. This is not a requirement, merely a recommendation.
WWW
It is recommended that your root DNS (YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD) point to the same server as your WWW DNS (WWW.YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD). This is so users can get to http://YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD/ and still get to your website. This is not required, merely recommended.
WWW 200
It is recommended that your web server respond with 200 OK (meaning that there is a file) and not something like 404 (file not found), 401 (access denied), 500 (server error), etc. What is the point of having a web server if it will not or an not serve the file? This is not a requirement, but it is recommeneded.
WWW Connection
It is recommended that if you have a web server that is public reachable. Why list a web server in your DNS if it is not going to be reachable? This is not a requirement, just recommended.
WWW DNS
It is recommended for your DNS to report WWW address. This allows users to go to http://YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD/. This is not required, merely recommended.
WWW Sync
It is recommended that if you have two or more web servers listed under the www sub domain, that they all have the same content. This is not a requirement, just a recommendation.
WWW Version
This is merely an informational statement, it is not a test, just information gathered while running the rests.
