On DCC Chat: Connection timed out

krikkert · Post by **krikkert** » Sat Oct 05, 2002 11:43 am

ok, here's the deal: When I try to connect via DCC to the bot, it times out. Both if I DCC to the bot, or make it DCC to me, still times out.

My eggdrop is running on my local computer, behind a firewall/router. My forwards are as such:

6667->My computer
7000->My computer
(I'm running an IRCd
113->My computer( I was told I needed this, as it was the ident server)

Even if I put my computer in the DMZ, it still won't connect. Any suggestions?

If I understand you right, your eggdrop and your irc client are running on the same machine.
I think I tried that a long time ago with no success (I don't think the computer will establish a direct computer connection to itself) and if I remember right it never worked.
But you shoud be able to use the good old telnet.
telnet local-IP port (the port you use in the bot.conf for "listen all".
