He means try to connect Anope again... when oper'd you can see the connection errors and figure out what you're doing wrong. There's a good bet 1) you didn't add a link block, 2) you didn't add a listen port, 3) your link block information does not match.... that's generally what that means, it failed to connect because something was a miss. Read the error messages on the IRCd when you try to connect and you will have a better understanding.
