I have problems making my 2 bots link together.
I read the faq and search past post in this forum but didn't find how to fix that.
I run an eggdrop on my linux box, and a windrop on a windows 2000 box. The 2 computers are connected on the same DSL line. I read on a previous post to set the option "my-ip" and "my-hostname". Do I put the IP address my ISP give me when I connect (I don't have a static IP). And what about the hostname? Something like dsl-209-90-140-40.tor.primus.ca ? Same thing for the bot address. Will I have to change all this if I get disconnect and assigned a new IP by my ISP?
It sounds like you are usign NAT for your connection.
Please perform the following setting changes on each bot, and it should function.
First off, you will need to start using static IP's, or set the DHCP server (if in use) to give a specific IP to each machine.
Second, edit the cofnig files. Located and change "my-ip" to the IP of the machine on the LAN. These should nromaly be int he form 192.168.*. Either comment out (add a # to the begining of the line) the my-hostname line, or set it to "localhost".
Third, while in the config file, located and change the value of "nat-ip". This should eb set to the IP address that is assigned as you external IP (the one you are seen as on IRC).
When it coems to linking, the IP used will depend on which bot you are linking. If linking the 2 above together, then you need to specify the LAN IP's. If linking another bto fromt he internet, use the external IP, and set you router to forward the port.
