It clearly says that it's unable to resolve the host. If you put
irc.google.com in the M:line or General block (if it's 2.10.12.*) surely
you wouldn't be able to connect to irc.google.com, but the IP address of
the server. The server name can be anything, even
"this.domain.does.not.even.exist" - but it doesn't mean you can connect
to this.domain.does.not.even.exist remotely, so you will have to use the
IP address. If you really want to use some host then make sure you set
up A record (forward) to the IP address, in other words: make sure the
host resolves to it.

Well I got this part figured out. Thanks to someone smacking me in
the head with a brick and remind me of the command line params
available, I was able to debug the conf file. Now that is working
just fine and the process shows as being live but I cannot connect to
the server. ARGH! I get an unable to resolve server when I try to
connect via mIRC. I shut down my firewall to test to see if that was
an issue but no help. I can connect to other IRC servers using the
same ports just fine. Any ideas what it is that I have set wrong?
Thanks,
