I've been trying to link my bot with my friends for about a year now, and have found no success until yesterday. However after restarting the bot, once again we are gettting the same errors, and no matter how hard we try to replicate the working state, it doesnt work.

On my end this is what i see...

[11:34] #AxS# link friendsbot
[11:34] Linking to friendsbot at 11.11.11.11:11111 ...
[11:34] Received challenge from friendsbot... sending response ...
[11:34] Linked to friendsbot.
*** Linked to friendsbot
[11:34] Creating resync buffer for friendsbot
[11:34] Sending user file send request to friendsbot
[11:34] Disconnected from: friendsbot. No reason (lost 1 bot and 2 users)
*** Disconnected from: friendsbot. No reason (lost 1 bot and 2 users)

ip and port has been dummied out

now on his bot this is what i see...

[11:58] #axs# link axsbot
[11:58] Linking to axsbot at 22.22.22.22:22222 ...
[11:58] Linked to axsbot.

[11:58] Downloading user file from axsbot
[11:58] Lost userfile transfer from axsbot aborting.
*** axsbot
[11:58] (Userlist download aborted.)

no idea why its not working... so if you all know whats up please lemme know

Are you sure, that they are sharing user file, like they should

?

i think the answer to ]kami['s question is clear

AxS : try it with my-ip like masskilla said, and also try to disable the resync buffer (both are in eggdrop.conf)

I will try setting my-ip, however as the bot's ip is dynamic it may be a problem.

Not sure, just followed all the protocols i'm aware of.... my friends bot is set on +s (on axsbot) and mine on +p on (friendsbot) oh and also both are +u unshared.

the bots need to know their ips in order to transfer a file ( just as your irc client needs to know your ip for your dcc to work).. if its dynamic and a problem.. perhaps look into one of those free services like dyndns or whatever its called

I'm currently using a service like dyndns. I have to check the my-ip setting to see what effect that will have

thanx

OK finally figured out what was wrong.... when the bots lost connection what we did was delete the passwords off the bots and have them try to relink, what happened was that the friendsbot record was created twice on the userlist, so it kept having that error.

Just wanted peeps to know just incase they came accross the same situation.
