Hmm.. odd but testnet won't work for me:

Code:

./bitcoind -daemon -testnet -rpcuser=hungry -rpcpassword=forfood -rpcport=8332

results in the following log:

Code:

connect() failed after select(): No route to host
IRC connect failed
IRC waiting 71 seconds to reconnect
ThreadRPCServer method=getinfo
keypool reserve 2
keypool return 2

at which point bitcoind simply hangs and no blocks are ever downloaded.

The sticky part appears to be the inability to connect to MYSERVERIP:18333. I've just replace MYSERVERIP there. No, that doesn't show up as 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

What is going on here?

The important part being:

connect() failed after select(): No route to host

So either your network is down, or something is blocking your connection to IRC.
